A comment i made somewhere: Apostolic Succession is the belief that the same authority in the church which the original Apostles had has been transferred from person to person down thru the ages till now, regardless of how wicked or heretical these men have been. Only those who are not born again would believe such a thing. It mocks Christ to imply that He would work that way.
False spiritual authority is one of the root causes for modern Christianity becoming a parody of what it was meant to be.
One of the worst things about being placed into a position of artificial spiritual authority is the fact of having to pretend you have authority over others, and pretending is about as far from the real Jesus as it gets.
