Fool!
Apostolic succession is OLDER than Christ
It's literally the Rabbinic Succession that started with Moses and he himself had to abide by it in order to actually become a Rabbi
The entire point of John the Baptist was so he could recieve his semikha so he could be an actual Rabbi
Even the Pharisees pressed him on this, asking who gave him the rights to be a Rabbi, to which he answered,
> “I will also ask you one question. If you answer me, I will tell you by what authority I am doing these things.. John’s baptism—where did it come from? Was it from heaven, or of human origin?"
Jesus upholds tradition and magisterium
Why don't you?
