Okay, but revealed Church Tradition and Apostolic Succession historically grounds the Catholic Church in Christ Himself.

Yet the requirement of Apostolic succession isn’t found in the Bible. And if it IS correct - then the Roman Catholic church isn’t a real church, as it split from the Eastern Orthodox and thus no longer has Apostolic succession.

Unless you want to claim there can be multiple succession paths out there? In which case - how is it different than Lutherans?
