Yes they can.
Roman Catholic AnswerAny Catholic in good standing, who is in a state of grace (i.e.: has no mortal sin on his conscience) may receive Holy Communion. Any Catholic, unless they are a notorious public sinner, will be given Holy Communion even if they haven't been to a confession first as the priest is not going to make a judgment call in the Communion line about the state of a person's soul. Should a person in a sinful relationship receive Holy Communion? Of course not, St. Paul was very clear in that they were eating and drinking their own condemnation. In other words, even though they are physically consuming the Host, they are not receiving the graces from the Sacrament, instead they are committing yet another mortal sin and only worsening their state before God. This, however, is a private matter between the soul and God, with their confessor.Wiki User
