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.
Do you have to be baptized to take communion?
Catholics do not 'take' communion, they 'receive' communion. Yes, you must be a baptized Catholic to receive communion in a Catholic Church. Also, you must have undergone instruction and received your First Holy Communion.
Why does the Catholic church not allow other Christians to partake in communion?
Because one of the reasons for receiving Holy Communion in the Catholic Church is to publicly show your communion with the Catholic Church. Non-Catholics are not in communion with the Catholic Church and therefore cannot receive Holy Communion.
Why do Church of England churches let Catholics take communion?
The Church of England allows Catholics, and I presume others, to receive communion out of a "spirit of Ecumenism." Whilst they allow this, a Catholic should not partake of communion with any "church" which is not in communion with Rome; as to do so, is an explicit consent to the believes and teachings of said "church." Please see the link below for a full explanation as to why it is wrong for Catholics to receive communion in a Church not in communion with Rome.
Can a Roman Catholic receive communion at a Marians Church?

Can a Church of Ireland receive communion in the Roman Catholic church?
I take it that you mean if a member of the Church of Ireland receive Communion in the Catholic Church. Well the Church of Ireland is an branch of the Anglican Church and thereby not in union with the Bishop of Rome, so no, a member of the Church of Ireland cannot receive Communion in the Catholic Church. To receive Communion in the Catholic Church, you are to be Catholic united to Rome and accept the doctrine of transubstantiation in the Eucharist. Now if you are a member of the Catholic Church in the country of Ireland, yes you are allowed to because you are Catholic in that sense, but again, an Anglican member of the Church of Ireland cannot receive Communion unless they convert to Catholicism and accept all teachings taught by the Magisterium concerning the Eucharist..Catholic Answer.It's just Catholic, not Roman Catholic. Roman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is never used by the official Catholic Church. Short answer: No, the Church of Ireland is a protestant Church, and is most definitely not in "Communion" with the Catholic Church. The only way that an Anglican (member of the Church of Ireland) may receive Holy Communion in a Catholic Church is to convert. Pope Benedict issued a Motu Proprio several years ago, which allows Anglicans to convert to the Catholic Church and retain their own usages in the Latin Rite, it is call the Anglican usage, see link below.

Can a Polish National Catholic receive communion in the Roman Catholic Church?
Technically no; the Polish National Catholic Church is not part of the Roman Communion. But priests don't typically interrogate each communicant before giving them the host..Catholic AnswerFirst of all, there is no "Roman" Catholic Church. It's just Catholic, not Roman Catholic. Roman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is never used by the official Catholic Church. The Polish National Church is a Church which broke away from the Catholic Church after Vatican Council I. However, the Polish National Catholics believe in the Real Presence of Our Blessed Lord in the Eucharist, have a valid priesthood, and valid sacraments. Under current canon law, a Polish National Catholic, in danger of death, who is unable to receive the sacraments from a priest of his Communion, may request the sacraments from a Catholic priest, and with the local bishop's permission, may receive Confession, Holy Communion, and Anointing from a Catholic priest. Please note that this is 1) in danger of death, 2) when a priest from his own Communion is unavailable, 3) and he freely requests it on his own. However, to just go up to receive Holy Communion in a Catholic Church when not in communion with the Catholic Church AND/OR not in a state of grace is perilous to one's spiritual health, and is not something to engage in.
