Is this well documented?
I'll try to find out and get back to you.
Thank you. If it's well established it is just one more thing I can present to RC's that are seeking the Lord. My wife has an Uncle who is RC and attends mass pretty regularly. We talk on occasion, but he isn't ready to open up a Bible and really get into things.
BTW, I've really enjoyed the detail in your posts and references. The references give me the opportunity later to look at the books on line, or buy them for myself. One book concerning the failed theory of apostolic succession I found very strong was "From Apostles to Bishops" by Francis Sullivan.
