Yes Another answer: Henry VIII himself did not "break away" from the Catholic Church.

Can episcopal take commumion in the catholic church?

In a Catholic church, the priest can not actually stop a person from taking communion during the mass, so really any one can go up and take communion. Now people in the Episcopal church and Catholic church both believe in Transubstantiation. This is the idea that the bread and wine are turned into the body and blood of Christ by God when the priest prays to God to do so. That is the main reason why the Catholic church does not want other Christians to receive communion if they are attending a Catholic church because most Protestant sects only see the bread and wine as symbols, and do not believe in Transubstantiation. But since Episcopals believe in it, they should be able to take communion in a Catholic church without that problem.
