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.
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.
How is eucharist in Anglican church and catholic church?
The Eucharist is a practice both in the Anglican Church (The Church of England) and the Catholic Church (The Church of Rome.) This is because the Anglican Church is a break-off of the Catholic Church and so retains some of the Catholic teachings. The Anglican Church was started for various reasons by King Henry VIII of England, who wanted the English Catholics to look to him as the head of the English Church, and not to the Pope. Henry kept most of the Catholic Church's doctrines, and one of such doctrines was the doctrine of the Eucharist, which is, in the Catholic Church, the physical, true presence of the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of the Lord Jesus Christ in the form of bread and wine. However, since the Anglicans rebelled against the Pope and broke off from the main body of Catholics, this was heresy and since they are not in communion with the Chair of Peter, their Eucharist is not truly the Body and Blood of Jesus, as the religion is heresy. For more information, you can visit your local Catholic parish.
Is it not right for a non Catholic christian to take communion at catolic mass?
Eastern Orthodox Christians are permitted with special permission to receive the Eucharist from a Catholic Church on certain occasions and other non-Catholic Christians may be able to receive if they are in danger of death, express a belief in the Eucharist, and ask for it on their own initiative. The reason for this is that only the Catholic Church and the Orthodox Church believe in the Eucharist in the proper sense, and furthermore, the Eucharist is a sacrament of unity within the Church, and it would be wrong for those who do not share fully in the unity of the Catholic Church to receive it.

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.
What are some characteristics of the Anglican church?
Anglicans do not recognise the Pope as the Head of the Church. Most do not accept the transubstantiation of the bread and wine at the mass (Holy Communion) into the actual body and blood of Christ, but regard them as symbolic instead. Anglicans on the whole do not pray to saints, do not regard the Virgin Mary with the same veneration as Catholics, do not require their priests to be celibate, do not believe in the non-scriptural ideas of purgatory or limbo. In the Anglican Church, any visitor who would normally receive Holy Communion in a different church (whether or not it is Anglican, Catholic, Methodist, Baptist, URC or whatever) are welcome to receive the bread and wine in an Anglican church. In a Catholic Church, one must be a Catholic if one is to be invited to receive. In an Anglican church all receive the bread and wine; in a Catholic Church only the bread is normally received by the members of the congregation.
When was Reformed Anglican Catholic Church created?

Can a Baptist receive Holy Communion in an Anglican Church?
In the few Anglican churches that continue to maintain the Catholic tradition (known as 'Anglo Catholic' Churches) then they may well say 'no' just as the Roman Catholics would. However, this is against the normal practice of the church, and in the vast majority of Anglican churches anyone who normally receives communion in their own denomination are welcome to receive communion in an Anglican church. In my own Anglican church we have gone a stage further - inviting anyone who 'loves the Lord' to his table to receive communion whether or not they are a communicant member of another Anglican church or a church of any other denomination.
Can an Anglican Catholic priest say Mass at a Roman Catholic Church?
The Anglican Church is not called the Anglican Catholic Church, and the Catholic Church is not formally known as the Roman Catholic Church even though the Vatican is indeed located in Rome. Your question therefore would more accurately read, can an Anglican priest say Mass at a Catholic Church. The answer is, the Catholic religion does not allow Anglican priests to officiate at their rituals. The Anglican Church, despite being extremely similar to the Catholic Church in most respects, is nonetheless regarded by Catholicism as a heretical schism.
How is the Anglican Confirmation different from the Catholic?
