Could you please inform me as to the Church’s position on receiving the Eucharist at an Anglican Benedictine service, as opposed to a Catholic Benedictine one? I have to admit that until yesterday I was unaware that Anglican Benedictines existed but since there is a monastery within 50 miles of where I live, here in the UK, I would like to visit but would like to know where I stand with receiving Communion. Thanks.
 
Dear friend,

Angilcan Benedictines or Franciscans or, God forbid, now Dominicans, are not members of those Catholic orders since the ultimate major superior on earth of those orders is the pope. The Anglican communion mimics the true Church, but comes up very, very short. Catholics are not allowed to enter into Protestant services unless they are observers or are part of an ecumenical service. Certainly, Catholics are not allowed to partake of their invalid eucharist.

Fr. Vincent Serpa, O.P.
