Eastern Orthodox and the Eucharist

[BennyBoy89]

I’m not sure if this question has been brought up before, but I was wondering why, even though the Roman Catholic Church has permitted Eastern Orthodox Christians to receive communion in the Roman Catholic Church, why do the Eastern Orthodox bishops forbid them from doing so? (Other than the fact that communion would signify a non-existent unity). I seem to remember reading somewhere about the Eastern Orthodox having a different Eucharistic theology, that being one of their main reasons. Am I way off base here? If anyone could clear this up I’d appreciate it.

This is the Eastern Catholic forum, we are allowed to recieve in each other’s churches.

I think you need to ask the moderator to move this to the non-Catholics forum.

The only reason.

Other than refraining from explaining the Mystery (Transubstantiation), or involving the Eucharist in worship outside of DL (Adoration, though WRO do have this, so it’s not heterodox), there’s no difference big enough to seperate communion.
