Is a marriage in the polish national Catholic church accepted by the roman Catholic church where man is Roman Catholic and woman is Polish national Catholic?

Yes, absolutely. The Roman Catholic church considers the marriage of any man and woman who are both baptized Christian, irregardless of specific faith, as being a sacramental marriage. This means it is allowed the supernatural graces by God to the couple who now have a vocation to leading each other to eternal life together. You may also want to check on the Polish National Catholic church. It may very well be in union with the Roman Catholic church which simply means the woman in this relationship is actually a Roman Catholic too.


Can a Polish National Catholic receive communion in the Roman Catholic Church?

Technically no; the Polish National Catholic Church is not part of the Roman Communion. But priests don't typically interrogate each communicant before giving them the host..Catholic AnswerFirst of all, there is no "Roman" Catholic Church. It's just Catholic, not Roman Catholic. Roman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is never used by the official Catholic Church. The Polish National Church is a Church which broke away from the Catholic Church after Vatican Council I. However, the Polish National Catholics believe in the Real Presence of Our Blessed Lord in the Eucharist, have a valid priesthood, and valid sacraments. Under current canon law, a Polish National Catholic, in danger of death, who is unable to receive the sacraments from a priest of his Communion, may request the sacraments from a Catholic priest, and with the local bishop's permission, may receive Confession, Holy Communion, and Anointing from a Catholic priest. Please note that this is 1) in danger of death, 2) when a priest from his own Communion is unavailable, 3) and he freely requests it on his own. However, to just go up to receive Holy Communion in a Catholic Church when not in communion with the Catholic Church AND/OR not in a state of grace is perilous to one's spiritual health, and is not something to engage in.

May a church title itself Catholic and not be a Roman Catholic Church?

Unfortunately, the Church has little control over the name Catholic and it is hijacked all the time by groups that are NOT in union with Rome and, therefore, not truly Catholic. A few examples: The American Catholic Church, The American Charismatic Catholic Church, the Polish National Catholic Church. Calling oneself something does not make it so.
