Where and how did you find that out?

I did an online search of the phrase "apostolic succession" Watchman Nee has about 5 very clear quotes on the subject, Witness Lee has none. So then I tried a few other searches on the succession of the Popes from Peter. I found some murky quotes from Witness lee, but nothing clear cut. From my experience I think it is clear that WL and the LRC consider the claim that the Popes were a direct succession to Peter to be false. Still, he never seems to have addressed this topic directly, at least not that I could find.

Correct ZNP. The one that publishes the teachings of both Watchman Nee and Witness Lee. Therein you will find the teaching that "apostolic succession is a heresy".
