Can Episcopalians receive Catholic eucharist?
No, only practicing Catholics who have properly prepared their hearts. When Catholics receive the Eucharist, the priest first says, "The Body of Christ" then the individual responds with "Amen". The word Amen means 'i believe'. Episcopalians do not believe in Jesus' True Presence in the Eucharist. Thus, it would 1) be contradictory to their beliefs to receive Communion and 2) it would be a sin for them.AddendumI ought to add here as a rider, that Episcopalians are a church within the Anglican Communion, and, as such, have a broad spectrum of belief and tradition. Within the Anglican Communion there are many Christians (so-called 'Anglo-Catholics') that are Roman Catholic in belief, including Jesus' True Presence in the Eucharist, but with one exception; they reject the authority of the pope. This includes mambers of all Anglican Churches - including Episcopalians.However, despite their belief in transubstantiation, they too are rejected by the Roman Catholic Church and cannot receive the Catholic eucharist. This has caused much grief and heartache in the Anglican Church which is trying to work towards better understanding between our fellow RC Chrictians.
Are Catholics permitted to perform their religious works and ceremonies within temples and other buildings constructed for gods other than the Tetragrammaton?
A:For Catholics to do so without prior permission and approval from the abbot or other relevant religious authority would be an act of sacrilege and disrespect, as well as being unethical in the extreme. A parallel could be drawn to members of another religion performing their religious works and ceremonies within a Catholic church or cathedral without approval from the bishop.Of course, multi-religious ceremonies somtimes involve Christians, Hindus, Buddhists or others, and could take place in churches, temples or any neutral venue, with prior permission and approval of all parties.
Can a catholic receive communion in Greek orthodox church?
Oh, dude, technically speaking, it's a bit of a gray area. Like, in general, the Greek Orthodox Church has guidelines about who can receive communion, and typically, they prefer you to be a member of their church. So, like, if you're a Catholic popping in for a visit, they might not be too keen on you joining in on the communion party. But hey, if you're really craving that Eucharist, maybe give them a heads up and see what they say.
Will an Anglican minister perform a marriage outside the church?
This depends on the diocese. However, it is often the case that an Anglican minister must receive the approval of his archbishop if the wedding is to be performed off consecrated land (i.e. church property, Anglican camping grounds, etc.)Answerhmm I would say that it would be up to his own bishop/ordinary not his archbishop pas it seems a local matter?
Process to transfer clergy credentials into the Anglican Church?
To transfer clergy credentials into the Anglican Church, the individual typically needs to submit a formal application, including documentation of their previous ordination and ecclesiastical history. This is often accompanied by a letter of recommendation from their current bishop or church authority. The receiving Anglican diocese will review the application, which may involve an interview process and assessment of theological training. Upon approval, the clergy member may be formally recognized and receive new credentials within the Anglican Church.
What is the 1928 Book of Common Prayer?
The 1928 Book of Common Prayer was a modification of the 1662 Book of Common Prayer. The modifications required the approval of the UK parliament, but this was not given. None the less parts of its liturgy was brought into use in some churches of the Church of England and parts now have been given official approval for use today. The approval of parliament is no longer required for changes in the Church of England's liturgy.
Can a child that is baptised Greek Orthodox receive communion and confirmation in a catholic church?
Answer # 1No. The Roman Catholic Church practices closed communion, and doesn't have any shared sacraments arrangements with other churches. For example, the Church of the Holy Apostles in Virginia Beach, Virginia has a common seating area for its Anglican and Roman Catholic congregations. But there are two separate altars, and therefore two different receiving lines depending upon one's denomination.Answer # 2Yes.There are currently two canon laws which provide for this:Catholic ministers may licitly administer the sacraments of penance, Eucharist and anointing of the sick to members of the oriental churches (e.g. Greek Orthodox, Russian Orthodox, etc.) which do not have full communion with the Catholic Church, if they ask on their own for the sacraments and are properly disposed. This holds also for members of other churches, which in the judgment of the Apostolic See are in the same condition as the oriental churches as far as the sacraments are concerned. (CIC Canon 844, § 3, cited in The Compendium to the Catechism of the Catholic Church)Similarly,If the danger of death is present or other grave necessity, in the judgment of the diocesan bishop or the conference of bishops, Catholic ministers may licitly administer these sacraments to other Christians who do not have full communion with the Catholic Church, who cannot approach a minister of their own community and on their own ask for it, provided they manifest Catholic faith in these sacraments and are properly disposed. (CIC Canon 844, § 4, cited in the Compendium to the Catechism of the Catholic Church)These two canon laws make more explicit the suitable circumstances which the Vatican II document Unitatis Redintegratio speaks of concerning the Orthodox churches:These churches, although separated from us, yet possess true sacraments, above all - by apostolic succession - the priesthood and the Eucharist, whereby they are still joined to us in closest intimacy. Therefore some worship in common (communicatio in sacris), given suitable circumstances and the approval of church authority, is not merely possible but is encouraged.

Approval in-principal or approval in-principle?
Approval in principle
Who is papal approval?
papal approval is not a person, it is approval of the pope.
Who in 1500 - 1600 thought that Queen Mary was a good queen?
Some catholics definitely, for bringing back the old forms of worship. After her phantom pregnancies and the loss of Calais her approval rate must have dropped amongst them too, though.
When you go to buy a Bible how do you know if it is a Catholic Bible?
Bibles and other religious material which has been approved for use by Catholics will have an 'imprimatur' - the official approval of a Catholic bishop or archbishop. This usually appears on the same page as the publisher's details.
Can an episcopal priest that is married ever become a Catholic priest?
Not in the eyes of the Catholic Church. They do not consider an Episcopal Priest to be ordained in Apostolic Succession, so is therefore a layman (a non-priest like you or I). This is depite Episcopalian (and all priests in the Anglican Communion) being able to trace their succession back through the bishops to the pre-Reformation Church based in Rome.
