Whoa!
Out of the whole slew of words used to try to prop up something unbiblical, only one passage of Scripture was even referenced... and it teaches discipleship, not Apostolic Succession...
As you would post, “Yawn”.
That apostolic discipleship would be passed down from the genuine apostles, or those with the same qualifications listed in Acts 1:21-22, in doctrinal unity to disciples who maintained that unity to each successive generation in an unbroken chain of truth. Anything else is something else. If not the Catholics, and not the Eastern Orthodox, then who ?
