Hello You have to understand that people may already know this, they just think at some point errors came in and it went astray I think the problem is not people going around saying “I don’t want to follow apostolic tradition!” Nobody does that The problem people have is that they don’t think Catholic tradition lines up with apostolic tradition Obviously a lot of people didn’t or you wouldn’t have hundreds of years of ecumenical councils For example, there’s no evidence of asking the dead for intercession until 300AD, so people are going to question that and disagree with the practice Claiming unbroken succession doesn’t mean there’s no hesitation of teachings See the Pharisees, who might claim unbroken succession to Moses, yet we know Jesus rebuked their false traditions

@@answersbycatholics I would assume they are basing that on following what they believe to be the tradition of apostles People aren’t going to believe apostolic succession of they think you’re not teaching what the apostles taught That’s why people prefer scripture If you claim apostolic tradition and teach things that possible contradict scripture, why would they believe you?

Interestingly, St Francis De Sales talks about this issue when he was writing to people regarding Luther and Calvin. He talks about how the Church has always had the laying on of hands and the sending out by bishops. So how can we just cut that off and say we have the authority to teach the truth.
