The only Churches are the Catholic Church and Orthodox Church.
The rest have no apostolic sucession and are officially
ecclesial communities.
That may be.
But given that there are no shortage of sinners in my Church, I try to refrain from harshly judging other churches.
I do attend Mass regularly (usually twice a week) and I regularly watch EWTN. But there are number of Protestant ministers I like as well including Billy Graham, Franklin Graham, John Hagee, Joyce Meyer, and especially Hal Lindsay.
In the eleventh century the Orthodox Church concluded that mandating the primacy and infallibility of and obedience to the Pope of Rome was a clear repudiation of any semblance to authentic Christianity and an endorsement of the principles of Roman Catholicism.
What determines "apostolic succession" two thousand years removed from the actual Apostles? It is a succession of the TEACHINGS of the Apostles and we can find them IN the Scriptures they wrote as the Holy Spirit gave them utterance. "Ecclesial communities"? Are you aware that ecclesia is the Greek word for the called out assembly, AKA, the church???
Hate to break this to you, but anyone who confesses Jesus as Lord is in the catholic church as defined by God's Word...not by man.
