The RCC does not control the Holy Spirit, so the Theory of Apostolic Succession can't be based on an ordination process that is unique to the RCC.

True. The Apostolic succession is intact in the Catholic Church, in the Orthodox Church, and quite possibly in the Churches of the East such as the Coptic Church. It was valid in the Anglican church till 19c, when changes in the Holy Orders introduced there invalidated it.

Amen. In Apostolicae Curae the Aphoristic Pope Leo XII Taught that Anglican Orders are ABSOLUTELY NULL AND UTTERLY VOID

*BTW, my Bride responds to many of my claims using that aphorism
