In Sept I will be in Florence Italy. I would like to go to a Roman Catholic Church on Sunday that is in English. I found an English mass at St Marks, however it is Anglo Catholic Church. Are Roman Catholics allowed to go to Anglo Catholic churches and also recieve Holy Communion? Or do I need to find a Roman Catholic church:? Thanks so much for your time and answer. Barbx
 
Hi,

I’m afraid that the so-called Anglo Catholic churches are more Anglo than Catholic. No, you may not attend their services or receive their sacraments. Attend an Italian Catholic Church. You should know the Mass well enough by now to know what’s going on. Certainly the Eucharist there is valid.

Fr. Vincent Serpa, O.P.
