"Any evidence that you can give me that the Catholic Church is NOT the continuation of the Church established on Pentacost Sunday in Acts 2?"

Maybe it's just a difference of semantics. When you say "Apostolic Succession" I think you are saying your Church is led by Apostles today. I'm questioning this because there are no Apostles living today.

Yes, "successors" naturally means someone who comes AFTER the Apostles - following in their footsteps and given the power to continue to lead the Church on earth. It is safe to assume that the original Apostles are long gone and in heaven by now.
