Why can't non-Catholic Christians take Communion?

[Montie_Claunch]

I was wondering about something. I had always assumed that Non-Catholic Christians couldn’t take communion because they hadn’t gone to confession to take away their sins the Church didn’t want people to sin by taking the Body and Blood of Christ unworthly. But, and I forget where I heard this, I heard that it was because they wern’t acctually formally in the Catholic Church. Am I right on why Non-Catholics can’t take commuion or is there some other reason they can’t take communion? If there some other reason could you please explain why that is to me? Thanks and God bless.

Non-Catholic Christians cannot take communion because their are not in union with the Catholic Church. They do not believe in the teachings of the church.

In order to received Holy Communion, one must be a baptized Catholic, free of mortal sin.

The explanation is clear stated in the Parish Church’s Missal.
