Do Catholics take communion?
As of current times, the RC church does not recognize nor practice 'open communion' with other religions. Their belief is that this would imply that all Christian churches are 'united as one' which in their eyes is not so. Most other Christian/Protestant churches welcome any RC parishioner with open arms to participate in Holy Communion. As long as the person believe that Jesus Christ is their Savior, they are welcome to share in this Holy meal.
Is it a sin to take communion twice in one day in the Episcopal Church?
No, of course not. Otherwise priests who celebrate (and receive communion) sometimes several times daily would sin more than most! Traditionally in the last century a guideline of 'once a day' was given in some churches, but this was never a hard and fast rule, and was not scriptural anyway. Provided that you receive the bread and wine in the appropriate manner, with love, humility, gratitude, and repentance, it is perfectly Ok to receive communion more than once in a day. I think that God is far more concerned with the contents of our characters and our hearts than on whether or not we receive communion more than once a day. Some people go to church in the morning and then go to a worship service in the afternoon, taking communion both times. It is not inappropriate.
What does a special minister of Holy Communion do?

Can you receive communion with a venial sin?
I sure hope so, otherwise no one can receive communion, because the Bible says that"all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;" (Romans 4:23)The communion ceremony is a memorial of what Jesus Christ accomplished for us. The wine represents his blood that was shed for us for the forgiveness of sins.I Corinthians 11:25After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, this cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.The broken bread represents Jesus Christ's body, which was broken so that we could receive physical healing.I Corinthians 11:24and when he had given thanks, he brake it (the bread), and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.I Peter 2:24Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.The communion is to be done "in remembrance of" Jesus Christ and what God accomplished for us through him. So in essence, when you take communion, you are acknowledging that you that you have sinned, but you are thankful that Jesus Christ paid the price for your sins so you don't have to live in condemnation anymore. Communion lifts the burden of our sins from our shoulders so that we can walk upright, as sons of God, thankful for what He accomplished for us in Christ.So please, do take communion and remember what Jesus Christ gave for you, and then leave knowing that your sins have been forgiven and try to be the best person you can be.
