Even though it is not directly related to the discussion, but I would like to ask concerning the Catholic or Orthodox Christian traditions, who at least nominally, claim to have a more systematic approach to their religion, how would we confront their claims of having proper succession leading back to Jesus (Alayhi Salaam), and that this guarantees the correctness of their religion.

Of course, the 'rational discourse' portion of their 'Aqeedah can be handled by a learned Muslim (and I think myself that the one grounded in 'Aqeedah should constantly pound them on this angle), but I wanted to know more about how to refute their 'apostolic succession' claims, since this is the 'lesser leg' in trying to show their religions as incorrect.
