Supporting arguments
The Catholic Apostolic Church of Brazil has a valid claim of apostolic succession through Carlos Duarte, an excommunicated Catholic bishop who founded the church. [1]
|
The Catholic Church has recognized as valid the ordinations of several bishops in the Catholic Apostolic Church. [2]
|
Opposing arguments
The Eastern Orthodox Church does not recognize any claims of apostolic validity to churches outside of the Orthodox tradition. [3]
|
Apostolic succession has had practical value in resolving disputes in church history, but it is not an inherent part of Christianity. Formal legalistic ordination in the modern sense didn't exist in the apostles' times. [4]
- Related argument: Apostolic succession is a valid source of spiritual authority.
Carlos Duarte founded the Catholic Apostolic Church of Brazil and though he was a validly ordained bishop, his own ordinations became invalid when he was excommunicated. Therefore, all of the claims of apostolic succession based on his validity are illegitimate. [5]
