Apostolic Succession

I also say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church..

Matthew 16-17

Apostolic Succession has been transmitted to CACINA bishops by the laying of hands during episcopal consecrations performed by bishops previously consecrated within the apostolic succession.  Episcopal lines are traceable back to the original apostles with early lineage shared with the Roman Catholic Church.
