Pre Pope John Paul II Bishops (updated)
So the question: How many active bishops were appointed to their current post before Pope John Paul II became Pope?
The answer is that only 1 remains.
That ordinary is:
Bishop Gilbert Guillaume Marie-Jean Aubry
of Saint-Denis-de-La Réunion
Named 20 Nov 1975 by
Pope Paul VI
Born 10 May 1942
Will turn 79 years old in a bit over a month.
There are no longer any Auxiliary Bishops that meet the criteria. The last one retired in January 2012.
