Catholic AnswerIf you are a baptized Catholic, then you remain a Catholic your entire life. You might be a lapsed Catholic who is not attending Mass and services somewhere else, but that just makes you a Catholic who is not in a state of grace. Any Catholic is eligible for the Last Rites if they desire them, the first part of Last Rites is confession which means that you would be confessing your apostasy AND repenting of it. This is a very good thing, as you will die in a state of grace.

What are the complications of Jews marring into a Catholic family?

There are no such complications of getting married to a person from the Catholic family. The question comes here is about the Roman Catholic faith. A Jew and a Roman Catholic cannot get married in a Catholic Church unless the Jewish Person is ready to convert themselves to a Roman Catholic. If the Jewish person is not ready to convert to a Roman Catholic and still wants to get married in a Catholic Church then the marriage won't be celebrated in a mass. There are even more conditions to it :1. The children will be born and brought up into the Catholic Faith.2. The Roman Catholic by birth can continue his / her faith and receive all sacraments from the church.3. The Jewish person cannot receive Holy Communion in mass.

Can a catholic married to non-catholic in civil ceremony receive communion?

This is a difficult question to dissect. I think what you mean is that a Catholic gets married to a Non-Catholic in a Civil Ceremony and then sometime later wants to receive Communion. Any Catholic can receive Communion and should, as long as they are not aware of any mortal sin. In this situation, Catholics must be married in the Catholic Church or receive a dispensation to be married elsewhere. If this is not done, it is a grave offense (mortal sin) and a confession is required before going to Communion again.

Can a Catholic divorce if he became Anglican?

A Catholic can divorce and remain a Catholic as long as the person does not remarry. The Catholic Church does not recognize divorce so would consider the person as separated from the spouse. To remarry the person would have to obtain a Church annulment or the previous spouse would have to die. If the person remarries without an annulment, that person would be considered as an adulterer and could not receive the sacraments. The Anglican Church, as we have seen with Henry VIII's life, is much more liberal when it comes to divorce.
