Line of succession for bishops?

[Big_Feet]

There is a line of “Apostolic succession” for our bishops going back to the Apostles. How do I find out the” lineage” of succession for a particular current bishop?

Try here:

catholic-hierarchy.org/

You can search a particular bishop and it will give his episcopal lineage.

Thank you! But many of these lineages only go back to the 14-1500s. Do we have any lineages that show going back to the Apostles?

No, we don’t, as was hashed out in this thread several months ago.

Thank you for pointing me in this direction. I had not read through all the posts back through May to find this.
Again, thank you.

It sure would be interesting reading – imagine tracing your bishops all the way back!

Sometimes I wonder: which apostle was his spiritual father? How many of them were popes? How many of them canonized saints?

I guess I’m full of silly questions!

take care,

Jesus, God and man,

have mercy upon us.

• Blessed John Henry Newman, December 22, 1851

Tú y yo sabemos por la fe que oculto en las especies sacramentales está Cristo,
ese Cristo con su Cuerpo, con su Sangre, con su Alma, y con su Divinidad,
prisonero de amor.

• San Josemaría Escrivá, 1 junio 1974

… Our Lord Himself frequently said; and it is recorded as an Apostolic tradition from Him by St. Justin the Martyr. He says ‘Jesus often said, “They who are near Me are near a fire”’.
