Catholic AnswerYou need to speak to your regular confessor about this as I'm not sure what all the circumstances are, or, for that matter if you are referring to receiving Holy Communion in Church after you married outside of the Church or if you are referring to receiving "communion" in a non-Catholic "church" while engaging in a "marriage" ceremony. To the first, if you have gotten married to a non-Catholic without any kind of preparation or permission from your Bishop, you have excommunicated yourself, and may not receive Holy Communion until you have rectified the situation and made a good Confession. In the second situation, if you have received permission to marry in a non-Catholic Church, you may certainly NOT participate in any "communion service" which they might hold. If you haven't received any permissions, and are doing all of these things, you're in "a heap of trouble" as one of my old confessors used to say, you need to speak to a priest asap and start to get things straightened out. We are talking about your immortal soul here, so pick up that telephone and make an appointment to speak with a priest right now.Wiki User

∙ 12y agoYou can receive communion as a Catholic if you are in a state of grace. Marrying a non-Catholic without a dispensation (permission from your bishop) is a sin and you would not be able to receive Holy Communion until you have separated from your wife or had the marriage recognized by the Church.

Roman Catholic AnswerAny Catholic who is in a state of grace (has been to confession within a year and has no mortal sin on his soul) may receive Holy Communion. If you are validly married to a non-Catholic and have been to confession then I would see no problem. If you have attempted marriage outside of the Church then you have ignored your basic responsibilities as a Catholic and are living in sin; you would not be able to approach Holy Communion until you have spoken with a priest and resolved your irregular situation. Until such time as you can regularize the marriage you should be living as brother and sister. To marry a non-Catholic permission from the Bishop must be obtained. Your local parish priest can obtain this after instruction and if he feels the marriage would not harm your immortal soul. The important thing in this situation is your immortal soul, and that of the woman you are living with. God created human beings to live eternally with him in heaven. We are on this earth for a very short time, and then will spend eternity in heaven - or hell. Eternally fulfilled and happy, or eternally frustrated and in pain. Let us try to keep things in proportion here.Wiki User

your marriage outside of the Catholic church is invalid due to improper form. your 1st marriage in the church nullified it.

Can a Catholic woman who marries a protestant man in a register office receive Holy Communion?
Roman Catholic AnswerNot until that marriage is regularized by the Church. If a Catholic attempts marriage outside the Church without a dispensation they are effectively put themselves outside of God's grace. To receive Holy Communion in such a state is extremely dangerous as St. Paul warns in his Epistles. Part of the problem is that Catholics have been poorly catechized and don't realize what is important and that the Eucharist is the actual Body and Blood of Christ, and that to receive It in a state of sin is perilous.
