The continuance of the Apostolic gospel was one of MESSAGE and not of an official office of Apostle. There are no Apostles today - not in the Roman Catholic church, the Orthodox church or in any other church. What we have is the teachings of the Apostles and THAT is what continues to be proclaimed as it is taught in their writings which are divinely-inspired Scripture. The unlearned and unstable are the ones who twist Scripture - to their own destruction - and how we know is we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.(I Cor. 2:12,13)

There are bishops, appointed according to the scriptures, in an unbroken chain. It is those bishops against whom antiCatholics rage.
