thessalonian Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 No. The Pope and Bishops are successors of the Apostles. That is not the same thing. Apostles were direct witnesses of Christ. They also had all the charisms and each was infallible with regard to doctrine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
