So there’s nothing Biblical about apostolic succession... Thanks!

And of course, those schismatic Roman Catholics once again show their hypocrisy about “apostolic succession” when in fact it continues with the Eastern Orthodox Church, from which they split. RCC is no more “apostolic succession” (itself a non-Biblical requirement of being “a true Church”) than Lutheranism or Methodism.

For your enlightenment. Remember that the Early Church Father knew the Apostles personally in most cases.

What ARE you trying to say here? (You do know that Rome recognizes the Apostolic Succcession of non-Catholic Churches, including the Orthodox, right?)
