Retirement

 * He retired at 69. Isn’t that early? Why not wait until the standard age of 75? Bmclaughlin9 (talk) 16:28, 27 April 2020 (UTC)
 * It doesn't mention anywhere his reasons for retiring early. And it almost certainly wasn't for health reasons, because he did become pastor back in Chicago from 2000–2008.  Perhaps he wanted to return home after being away as missionary for the entirety of his adult life. —Bloom6132 (talk) 22:48, 27 April 2020 (UTC)

Vacancy
In support of the alleged significance of a 2.5-year vacancy after Sabatini's reign in Kamloops, we would appreciate a reliable secondary source describing why it was extraordinary and why it deserves recognition in the succession box, whereas most interregna are unremarkable.

 * Whose "we"? Speak for yourself.  No one is claiming that a 2.5-year vacancy is "extraordinary" or remarkable.  Nor is listing the factual timeline of events in the succession boxes any claim of such.  The sede vacante article has a table for papal vacancy periods in excess of a year.  Last time I checked, 2.5 years > 1 year. —Bloom6132 (talk) 01:26, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Papal vacancies that long are extraordinary. Particular church vacancies are not Elizium23 (talk) 01:29, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Source? —Bloom6132 (talk) 01:30, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
 * We asked you for a source for something in the article. Elizium23 (talk) 01:31, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I wasn't making a claim in the article that you falsely said I was. —Bloom6132 (talk) 01:32, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Once again, who said that "Papal vacancies that long are extraordinary. Particular church vacancies are not"? Apart from you, of course … —Bloom6132 (talk) 01:33, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
