For 2000 years, the ordination of bishops has flowed through the laying on of hands from one bishop to the next. (Notice the placement of the Book of the Gospels on his head and the hand cross of the Patriarch, placed against his forehead in blessing for his ministry). This is my bishop, on the day of his ordination in Harissa, Lebanon. He was enthroned the following month in the Eparchy of St. Maron, Brooklyn NY where he serves all those parishes assigned to his eparchy.
You, nor anyone else, knows how Bishops were created/ordained 2000 years ago. We do know, Acts 1:, that the 11 remaining Apostles appointed a 12th as successor to Judas. Of course this appointment was made collectively by the living Apostles not by a single person.
In your system the Bishops are appointed by the Pope. Certainly this is not biblical but a man made system.
Your amazing recreation of history has retroactively created Peter as the first Pope and invented a system of "Apostolic Succession" which in no way resembles the system of the original Church of the Apostles.
Do you care to enlighten me as to how the Bishops were appointed in the days of the Apostles?
