What ARE you trying to say here? (You do know that Rome recognizes the Apostolic Succcession of non-Catholic Churches, including the Orthodox, right?)

Rome has no right or claim to any such "recognition" in that it itself is a schismatic group off of the true Church, and thus has no more claim to "apostolic succession" than Lutherans or Methodists or Baptists.

What odd sect claims that as dogma? Certainly not the Orthodox.
