Non Catholic Christians & the Eucharist

[ESMDHokie77]

Hey CAF!,

Can non Catholic Christians get blessed instead of receiving the Sacrament? Obviously they can’t receive, that much I know… but can they walk up with us Catholics, have their hands crossed over their chest, and get blessed by the eucharistic ministers?

I can see arguments for both yes and no, am looking for help! Thanks!!

Peace,
Phil

Hi.

There may be a forum moratorium on this topic, so it can’t be discussed.

For some insight, however, see the Sticky Topic on this subject. God bless.

I didn’t see a moratorium on this topic, but the sticky does answer it all. The church has said that

I didn’t see a moratorium on this topic, but the sticky does answer it all. The church has said that people not able to receive communion should not receive a blessing.
