AlphonsusMary Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 I know that apostolic succession means that the bishops and priests are part of a sucessive lineage from the apostles. But does this literally mean that each priest or bishop can trace back his ordination that far? I wouldn't think so, but then how would we know that every ordination is part of a lineage that goes back to the apostles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
