He did not take part in the 2005 conclave because he had already passed the age limit of 80 years.
Following his retirement Arns has held the UNESCO Chair for Peace Education, Human Rights, Democracy and Tolerance at the State University of São Paulo, returning to the educational role he left behind upon taking episcopal office.
