Karlo tackles the most important question in all of Protestant and Catholic debates, “Did the apostolic authority continue?”  Contrary to what many Christians believe, Karlo gives both implicit and explicit evidence that the authority given to the apostles by Christ to teach and govern in the Church did not cease with the death of the last apostle, John, but was communicated to other men outside the original twelve apostles.  After establishing the biblical revelation of apostolic succession, Karlo builds the bridge from the 1^st century to present day Christianity and identifies in the Catholic Church the original Church established by Jesus Christ.
