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.

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.
