Protestant ministers have no apostolic authority

The Anglican/Episcopal churches at least, and I think also the Lutherans, claim valid apostolic succession, and I believe that this is recognized by Rome.

They do claim it, but Rome doesn’t recognize it. We do recognize it for the Orthodox Churches though.
