There would be no problem if he had been widowed between wives.

Answer

You should talk to your church and find out.

Catholic Answer

In the Catholic faith the only way that you can be married more than once is if your spouse dies, as noted above. Because every marriage is "until death do you part." One small problem, no one may TAKE Holy Communion, you may only RECEIVE Holy Communion.

Can an Anglican take communion in a Maronite church?

.Catholic AnswerOf course not, an Anglican is a protestant, a Catholic Church is Catholic. An Anglican may receive Holy Communion in a Catholic Church after completing RCIA classes and being brought into the Church at the Easter Vigil, but if they wish to remain an Anglican, they are, by that very fact, proclaiming that they are not in communion with the Catholic Church, so to receive Holy Communion in a Catholic Church would be a lie and dangerous to their spiritual well-being. Aside from all that, Catholics to not "take" Holy Communion, they "receive" Holy Communion.

What if a non Catholic is taking holy communion how different is it from Catholic?

I am assuming you mean how different is communion in a non-catholic church vs. Holy Communion in a Catholic Church? In that instance, Holy Communion in a Catholic Church is, literally, the Body and Blood of Our Blessed Savior; brought about through the direct intervention of the Holy Spirit working through the priest who pronounces the words of consecration. For a Catholic to receive Holy Communion in a state of grace confers more grace through fulfilling Our Blessed Lord's command to eat His Body and drink His Blood. For a non-Catholic or a Catholic in a state of mortal sin to receive Holy Communion is to eat condemnation as St. Paul points out "and this is why many of your are ill and dying"

Can I receive Communion at my Nana's funeral mass if I am a baptized but not confirmed Catholic and also an ardent Christian?

Roman Catholic AnswerFirst, let me extend my condolences on the death of your Nana, I am so sorry. If you are a baptised Catholic, who has made his first Holy Communion, and have gone to confession, then, of course, you may receive Holy Communion. If you are not a baptised Catholic or have not made your first Holy Communion, then you make what we call a "spiritual Communion" which is what a Catholic would do if they have not been to Confession, asking Jesus to come into your heart.


If a divorced non Catholic marries a Catholic but not in the Catholic church is an annulment required for the Catholic to receive communion in a Catholic church?

For a Catholic to be in good standing, and to be able to receive Holy Communion, then they must not be in an irregular situation such as you describe, an objective state of sin. For the Catholic to be in a state of grace, and thus to be able to receive Holy Communion, he or she would have to fix the irregularity in his life either by obtaining an annulment and validly married the individual or by separating from them. It might be possible to receive Holy Communion and get back in a state of grace by just practicing continence, until such time as they could be validly married, but this would be an individual decision of the person's confessor. For a more thorough answer for a similar scenario, read this, written by Father Shane Johnson, a New York priest: (see link below)
