Yeah...you gotta point. They were lucky to have, in many instances, retracked to sanity. As to individual Bishops/priests and their link to Apostolic Succession, that is just a minor problem :)

Of course, in apostasising, Luther generated a revolution which dethroned Jesus as King. Jesus was excised from protestant services and so they have no Sacrificial Worship.

I'm gonna post a link to a Solemn Mass with some great commentary by Saint-to-be-Bishop Sheen which is an excellent explanation of the Catholic Mass - it's Purpose, Reality, Ceremonies, Vestments etc etc.

Imagine Luther abandoning all of this and substituting his own man-made service.

What astonishing arrogance...

So far as I know, and this came as a surprise to me, there are some Lutheran bishops in Germany and many in Scandinavia whose lines actually are in the Apostolic Succession.
