APOSTOLIC SUCCESSION. A term that signifies that the episcopacy has been handed down from the apostles to the present day. This succession is carried on by ordination, the laying on of hands, from one generation to the next. Those ordained have continued to perform the functions of the apostles and have been continually in communion with the Apostolic See, that is, with the Bishop of Rome.
