Communion with others?

[da_nolo]

Are there non-Catholics who may celebrate Communion at Mass?

Are there non-Catholic churches that Catholics may celebrate Communion with?

 

[His_helpmeet]

For the former:

As I understand it, members of the Orthodox church, the Assyrian Church of the East, and the Polish National Catholic Church are asked to respect the discipline of their own churches. The Catholic Church does not object to such persons receiving Communion.

As to the latter, no.

 

[Pat_OC]

As far as I know, Catholics can receive the Eucharist at an Eastern Orthodox church if that is the only available place, or it is an emergency.

The Directory on the Principles and Norms of Ecumenism at http://www.vatican.va/roman_curia/p...993_principles-and-norms-on-ecumenism_en.html has a section with the heading " Sharing in Sacramental Life, especially the Eucharist" from 122 to 136.

polish national catholic church is not in association with latin rite?

 

[mVitus]

That is correct. There was, to my understanding, a schism over some failings in the CC’s dealing with Polish Catholics.

 

[Genesis315]

There can’t be concelebration of the Eucharistic sacrifice with any non-Catholics.

Under certain limited circumstances, Catholics can receive Communion from non-Catholic ministers for whom the sacrament is valid. Likewise, under certain limited circumstances, non-Catholics who share our faith in the reality of the sacrament and are otherwise properly disposed may receive from a Catholic minister.

 

[Hodos]

I attend mass from time to time, but out of respect I do not take Communion when I do. If you are visiting a Church that is not your home parish, I would recommend that you speak with the pastor before taking part in Communion.

who has valid sacrament?

 

[da_nolo]

what groups are other sacraments valid? e.i. baptism, etc.

 

[Hodos]

what groups are other sacraments valid? e.i. baptism, etc.

All who by faith accept the promises delivered through the sacraments (i.e., Baptism and Holy Communion).

 

[Wesrock]

what groups are other sacraments valid? e.i. baptism, etc.

Anyone can baptize. One doesn’t need to be Catholic or even Christian. An atheist could baptize someone if they sincerely intended simply do what the Church does. That said, a Catholic layperson should only baptize in extraordinary circumstances, even if it would be valid.

All baptized Christians have the sacrament of marriage, as the baptized Christians themselves are the minister of the ceremony. Note this doesn’t mean remarriages are valid, and Catholics are bound by the laws of the Church to marry in the Church or with appropriate dispensations. Also, while not sacramental, non-Christians can licitly marry in a non-sinful union.

The Orthodox, Assyrian Church of the East, and certain other schismatic churchea have valid eucharist, reconciliation, confirmation, annointing of the sick, and holy orders. Protestant Churches do not have these.

Hi! You’re question was interesting.Non-Catholics can not take a communion,but they they can celebrate Mass.They must be a Baptized Catholic first,When a Non-Catholic had been Baptized his sins became forgiven.But did you know that even we Catholics can not take communion?Yes! we can not,If we have a Mortal sin that had not been confessed yet and we take The Eucharist ,We can make a sin(Taking a Eucharist with Mortal Sin can be A Mortal Sin).We Catholics can not take a Communion with other Religions even they are Christians.
