Receive traditional communion if baptized in new rite?

[richardly9319]

Can I still receive communion from an old rite parish if I am baptized in the new rite? Because I understand that the traditional rite has a different baptism. Thanks

The sacrament of Baptism is the same regardless of whether the priest used the traditional rite of baptism or the ordinary form rite of baptism. The prayers are different, the methods used are different, but the Sacrament of Baptism is the same. As long as you are in the state of grace at the time of communion you can receive regardless of whether you are attending Mass at a Traditional Latin Mass (Extraordinary Form) or the Ordinary Form Mass.

Edited to add Latin Baptism vs. New Rite of Baptism

First, define “Old Rite Parish”. Do you mean a Latin Rite Parish that celebrates the Extraordinary Form?

Or is it one of these:

In short, yes what?

Is this ‘old rite’ in full communion with the rest of the Catholic Church?

If you have been baptised into the Catholic Church you can receive communion in any catholic Church under any rite: Byzantine, Chaldean, Maronite, Roman, West Syriac, etc. Under the Roman Rite you can receive communion under the following uses: Extraordinary Form, Ordinary Form, Ordinariate Divine Worship.

Council of Trent.
“CANON IV.-If any one saith, that the baptism which is even given by heretics in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, with the intention of doing what the Church doth, is not true baptism; let him be anathema.”

Therefore, if you have been baptized with water in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and on the Holy Ghost, it’s fine. Those are the only conditions required to be truly baptized.

The OP is asking if he can receive communion at an Extraordinary Form Mass if he was baptised in the Ordinary Form. The question not about baptism per se. Indeed, not all baptised persons can receive communion in the Catholic Church. Anglicans are validly baptised but they can’t receive communion in the Catholic Church.

But he was apparently baptized in the Catholic Church, so there shouldn’t be any issue.

I do have a little issue with some who prefer the older Latin form of the Mass talking as though they they are a separate group or a different/special type of Catholic than those who attend or prefer the ordinary form. (Not speaking of anyone on this thread, just in general.)

I know the OP was baptised in the Catholic Church so following some catechesis there should be no issue to him being confirmed. However, that was not what my previous post was about. It was following an assertion the baptised can receive Communion, which is not true. You need to be baptised and a member of the Catholic Church.

I do have a little issue with some who prefer the older Latin form of the Mass talking as though they they are a separate group or a different/special type of Catholic than those who attend or prefer the ordinary form.

I coundn’t agree more. Both forms are fully valid and no one should take a holier than thou attitude regarding which they go to.

Exactly. I fear that some of these people have got to the OP and given him the entirely false idea that ‘the old rite’ and ‘the new rite’ are actually two separate Churches, rather than simply being interchangeable ways of celebrating the Mass within the one Church.
