Can Catholics receiving communion at an Episcopal become transubstantiated?

The bread and wine consecrated by a Catholic priest is transubstantiated to the body and blood of Christ. Although the catholic church respects the EPISCOPAL church which is very close in its teachings, there are subtle differences in the meaning of Eucharist and therefore transubstantiation is a prime doctrine of the Catholic church ( and some orthodox churches) only.

Can a Catholic receive communion in Episcopalian church?
No.Episcopalians and any member of the Anglican communion (and I am an Anglican) would welcome a Roman Catholic at the Lord's table for communion, but the teaching of the Church of Rome dictates that Catholics should not receive in another denomination.However, if the Roman Catholic in question still wished to receive in the Episcopalian Church, against the teachings of his own church then he would not be refused the sacrament.Roman Catholic AnswerCatholics may not and can not receive Holy Communion in an Episcopal Church. They may not as receiving Communion means that you believe everything that the Church teaches, so receiving Communion in an Episcopal Church would be an act of apostasy. They can not as Pope Leo XIII in his Bull, Apostolicae Curae issued on 15 Sept 1896 ruled that Anglican (Episcopal) Orders were null and void: in other words, they do not have a valid priesthood and thus cannot confect the Eucharist.
