Can a man whose wife is not Catholic receive communion?
Yes, as long as you are not in a state of mortal sin. To be able to receive Holy Communion worthily one must not be in mortal sin, believe that the consecrated bread and wine are really the Body and Blood of Christ, and have fasted for one hour before receiving Holy Communion. If your wife is not Catholic, she may not receive Holy Communion, but you can. The above is absolutely true within the Catholic Church. However you can both receive communion if you attend a non-catholic Church (such as an Anglican Church) as Anglicans recognise any communicant member of any other denomination as having the right to receive communion within their own church.

How long do you fast before you may receive Holy Communion?
You are supposed to fast for one hour prior to communion. Most Catholics are unaware of that requirement, so it is not often practiced. Also, since Communion is late in the mass, as long as you weren't eating or chewing gum in church, you probably accomplish that just by being there.Roman Catholic AnswerBy not eating or drinking (save water) for one hour prior to Holy Communion. This is much mitigated. Before it used to be three hours, and before that it was a total fast (even water) from midnight until one received Holy Communion. There is an exception for the sick being giving Holy Communion outside of Mass, in this case, the fast is only fifteen minutes. The fast is to show respect for receiving the Body and Blood of Christ. You should not receive during that Mass if you haven't fasted for at least one hour, but make a spiritual Communion.As a sacrifice and to maintain the sacredness of the sacrament, fasting means no food or drink one hour before receiving communion. Water is OK. It used to be fast after midnight on the Sunday you receive communion, but that was changed over 40 years ago to the current practice

Is it a sin to take communion twice in one day in the Catholic Church?
I am not a Catholic, but I would think that they would follow the Biblical instruction, that "AS OFT(en) as ye (you) do it (in regards to the Lord's Supper/Eucharist/communion), think of me(Christ who is bread that was broken, and His blood symbolizing but not becoming the blood of Christ).Answer from an Ex-CatholicNo. As long as you comply with pre-requisites; Confessing your sin and done your penance. If you have not comitted any sin/s between communions, then you don't need to confess.You can take communion twice within a 24 hour period. You cannot take communion more than that in a 24 hour period.Addendum:It is perfectly okay to receive communion twice per day in the Catholic Church but no more than twice. However, let us say a person attends mass at 8:00 AM and then again a funeral or wedding mass later in the day. Then that person assists at an evening anticipated Mass to comply with the Sunday obligation. That person could receive again as the Church considers that to be a Sunday mass. So, the person received communion three times in a 24 hour period and it was completely within Church guidelines. I am aware of just such a situation that arose recently in my parish and the pastor said it was proper.It is perfectly okay to receive communion twice per day in the Catholic Church but no more than twice.
