Although the Roman Catholic Church would argue that their priesthood has remained intact, in a line of traceable succession, back to Peter. Today's LDS apostles also claim a line of priesthood authority back to Peter, but they reassure us that the apostasy won't happen again. I'm sure St. Eleutherius (Pope #13) would also have also dismissed any suggestion of widespread Christian apostasy. http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/12272b.htm
