Why is the Christian Church described as apostolic?
Christian churches cannot be called apostolic as there is only one Church, the Catholic Church, that is truly apostolic. There are some churches that put the term apostolic in their name; however, this is a misnomer as they cannot exhibit a line of succession from the apostles to the present. If by the Christian Church you mean the Catholic Church then the answer is obvious, every Bishop, priest, and deacon has been ordained in the apostolic succession. The four marks of Christ's Church are that it is "One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic":' the Catholic meaning that it is universal, and the Apostolic meaning that all its leaders are ordain by men who were ordained by the Apostles. "Christian" Churches, as in protestant churches are only apostolic in their dreams.
What is the significance of superstition in Islam and how does it influence the beliefs and practices of Muslims?

What did Apostolic tradition have to do with the Church?
When Our Blessed Lord, Jesus Christ, founded His Church, He founded it on Peter. Peter, and the other apostles were the original bishops of the Church. To be a genuine Catholic Church that is in communion with the Pope (the successor of St. Peter) and Christ, its Bishop must be ordained in the Apostolic line. Without such valid apostolic ordination, it is not a true "Church", only an ecclesial community. In other words, Apostolic tradition is the basis for the Church, revelation ended with the death of the last Apostle.

Is the apostolic succession indestructible?
The Roman Catholic Church would like to claim that the apostolic succession has not been broken since broken since the days of the original apostles of Jesus. The line of popes has been broken forty-four times since the days of Saint Peter who is considered to have been the first pope. Since the pope is the one who appoints bishops by laying of hands it may be claimed that the line of bishops has also been broken. One may conclude therefore that apostolic succession is not indestructible.
Are deacons called and appointed?
No.The bishop is the one who validly confers the Sacrament of Holy Orders. As the Catechism of the Catholic Church states:1576 Since the sacrament of Holy Orders is the sacrament of the apostolic ministry, it is for the bishops as the successors of the apostles to hand on the "gift of the Spirit," the "apostolic line." Validly ordained bishops, i.e., those who are in the line of apostolic succession, validly confer the three degrees of the sacrament of Holy Orders.REFERENCESLibreria Editrice Vaticana.
