APOSTOLIC SUCCESSION – Celtic Cross Communion International

Apostolic Succession…

In Christianity, the teaching that Bishops represent a direct, uninterrupted line of continuity from the Apostles of Jesus Christ.

According to this teaching, Bishops possess certain special powers handed down to them from the Apostles; these consist primarily of the right to confirm Church members, to ordain Priests, to consecrate other Bishops, and to govern over the Clergy and Church members in their Diocese (an area made up of several congregations).

AD 95 Clement, Bishop of Rome, in his letter to the church in Corinth (First Letter of Clement), expressed the view that Bishops succeeded the Apostles. The Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Old Catholic, Swedish Lutheran, and Anglican Churches accept the doctrine of Apostolic succession and believe that the only valid ministry is based on Bishops whose office has descended from the Apostles.

The Apostolic Succession of the Imperial Patriarchate passes through Roman and Eastern Bishops to the Apostles and Jesus Christ. The documentary terminus of the Apostolic lineage of the Imperial Patriarchate is, like that of Old Roman Catholics in general, older than that of the modern Roman Communion by over a century. The Apostolic lineage passed to the Imperial Patriarchate in unbroken succession includes not only the founder of its legacy, Pope Leo X, but also Pope St. Pius V, Pope Paul III, Pope Clement VIII, and Pope Urban VIII, the Medici Popes Clement VII and Leo XI, among other Popes, as well as Patriarchs of Jerusalem and Constantinople, and several princes and electors of the Holy Roman Empire.
