I defer to the posts of others that corrected me; this however, I can answer: apostolic succession requires two things: valid consecration and unity of doctrine. It is possible to consecrate a bishop or even a succession of bishops who drift into heresy overtime. At that point firther consecrations cease to be valid.

So, does that mean, that after the orgies or some such earlier . . . the consecrations were not valid any longer, in the RC edifice?
Sounds like similar to what I was contending about Holy Spirit lifting His anointing . . .
