The fuck you talking about? I was brought up catholic i an area almost exclusively Catholic. I was an altar boy.
You were a pretty fucking stupid Catholic then which makes sense since you regressed to atheism probably because "there's no evidence for God".
You are a few centuries off. It was in the late 4th century.
Noted, I should have checked that. It was still after the first 3 councils.
In any case, St. John Chrysostom wasn't an Apostle, he lived centuries aft all the Apostles had died.
He was a Church father/Apostle of the Church. The word apostle refers to Church fathers and Saints not just Jesus' disciples. He is part of the apostolic succession.
Also, the Apostolic Succession is a tradition and a doctrine but not confirmed by evidence. There is no mentioning in the NT that the Apostles ordained Bishops.
Peter was one of the 12 Apostles AND the first bishop (Pope) of Rome. Are you retarded or just lying by reflex, dude? He ordained Timothy (by laying hands on him) as his successor.
