One would think that if He truly wanted Apostolic procession or a Pope he would have praised the churches that had it and condemned the ones that didn’t.

The validitiy of apostolic succession is evidenced by the election of Matthias to take the "office" of Judas. If that's not proof of apostolic succession, what is? Additionally, all of these unified, catholic Churches had apostolic succession to begin with, so there were none to condemn for not having it.

Whose office did Paul take?
