Apostolic Succession
For the full and living Gospel to always be preserved in the Church, the apostles left bishops as their successors.
They gave them their own position of teaching authority. Indeed, the apostolic preaching, which is expressed especially in the inspired books, was to be preserved in a continuous line of succession until the end of time.
This living transmission, accomplished in the Holy Spirit, is called Tradition, since it is distinct from Sacred Scripture, though closely connected to it.

The sayings of the holy Fathers are a witness to the life-giving presence of this Tradition, showing how its riches are poured out in the practice and life of the Church, in her belief and her prayer.
The Father's self-communication made through his Word in the Holy Spirit remains present and active in the Church.
