QuoteThe other communities "cannot be called 'churches' in the proper sense" because they do not have apostolic succession -- the ability to trace their bishops back to Christ's original apostles -- and therefore their priestly ordinations are not valid, it said.


I wonder where it says in the Bible that apostolic succession is necessary?
