new section "Apostolic authority" with Bible links
The Roman Catholic Church recognizes the Eastern Orthodox succession as valid, but the Orthodox do not recognize the Catholic succession because, although the lineage is intact, the faith is thought not to be. Neither of them recognizes the Anglican succession, although the Orthodox have stated that Anglican orders would be valid if differences in doctrine were resolved.<ref>Cf. the 1896 papal bull Apostolicae Curae</ref>

==Apostolic authority==
Christian tradition has consistently seen the divine authority of the twelve apostles as the divinely established foundation of the temple of the Lord ([https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=ephesians%202:20-22&version=KJV Ephesians 2:20-22]) to whom Christ has entrusted the authority of the judgments of God. <br/>[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=luke%2022:28-29&version=KJV Luke 22:28-29], [http://biblehub.com/multi/matthew/18-18.htm Matthew 18:18], [http://biblehub.com/multi/matthew/16-18.htm Matthew 16:18].
