Are the bishops and priests of Rome able to trace their decent in apostolic succession from Peter?
No. History being the witness they are not able to do so, and even if they were able the line of descent would not be either honourable or credible. Romish historians themselves have testified that among the most impious and ungodly men of Europe from the 9th to the 16th centuries were the popes and cardinals of the Church of Rome – men who claim to be the successors of Peter and through whom the so-called line of apostolic succession runs.
