To: Tell It Right
But our early church fathers used that phrase not for those purposes, but to make a case that it was only through scripture we can know the true teachings. In other words, the phrase "apostolic succession" used by Catholics today was originally used for a sola scriptura argument.

Not really.

See, for example, Ignatius of Antioch on the authority of the bishop.

I’m not following you. Where does that say Ignatius used apostolic succession to make the argument for the authority of the bishop?
