According to Catholic teaching (Catechism paragraph 1121), the 3 sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation and Ordination remain forever once conferred on a person, and thus can never be repeated. Once a person is ordained a bishop he remains a bishop even after he retires. Retiral, normally at 75 years of age, simply means that a bishop is no longer in charge of a diocese or curial department. He can still perform all the sacramental actions of a bishop.
