 II. What Apostolic Succession Is Not
     To clear the floor I note ....

    A. Apostolic succession is part of the papal theory or it is the thesis that all bishops are to be successors of the Pope going back to St. Peter. etc.....

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

That’s what I said.
It is a doctrine that says God needs man to accomplish his will.
