The word succession can be used for something other than a Catholic concept. It's pretty clear that in the first century to be an Apostle you had to know and be confirmed by another Apostle. There are no free-lancers or Johnny-Come-Latelys.

Why would the Lord not give the Church a way to easily confirm Apostles?

The answer is, either he did and Lee does not measure up, or he didn't.

I believe he did, and Lee does not measure up.
