Can a catholic married to non-catholic in civil ceremony receive communion?
This is a difficult question to dissect. I think what you mean is that a Catholic gets married to a Non-Catholic in a Civil Ceremony and then sometime later wants to receive Communion. Any Catholic can receive Communion and should, as long as they are not aware of any mortal sin. In this situation, Catholics must be married in the Catholic Church or receive a dispensation to be married elsewhere. If this is not done, it is a grave offense (mortal sin) and a confession is required before going to Communion again.

Can a Christian who is not baptized take communion?
It is not advised to receive Communion in a Catholic Church unless you are Catholic. The code of canon law allows for emergency situations when a Catholic priest can administer Communion to a non-Catholic, however, the non-Catholic would have to believe the Catholic doctrines concerning the Eucharist and so such emergency situations are practically restricted to the Orthodox. Euristic Communion in the Catholic Church implies one believes in the Catholic Faith, its sacrarisments, doctrines and the person is free from sin. As a Catholic we should not be offended by someone elses uneducated decision to take communion, instead we could try to explain to our fellow Christians what their taking of communion in the Catholic Church is stating. You do belong by Baptism to Christ, and you do have a relationship to His Church through Baptism. However, in Catholic belief Baptism does not permit one to receive the Eucharist. If you do receive communion in a Catholic Mass you are saying that you believe Catholic Truth, accept Catholic unity, accept Catholic doctrine and belong to the sacramental unity - without that being the case your "communion" taken in a Catholic Church is not a true "communion" per the Catholic beliefs. When you are taking communion in the Catholic church you are affirming in good conscience that you accept Catholic teaching, and you discern the Real Presence as Catholics hold it to be. Catholics have an educational process call catechism, our children can not take communion until they in essence "graduate" from that educational process having learned about the Catholic sacraments and our beliefs. Adults who wish to become Catholic must also complete educational classes, called RCIA and when they "graduate", mature in the Catholic beliefs (fully understand what they are affirming) they receive their first communion during Easter mass. Meanwhile the Catholic Church welcomes our children, visitors, other Christians, and Adult RCIA participants to participate in the communion portion of the mass through receiving a blessing for their Christian faith. This is accomplished by the person crossing their arms by placing your hands on the opposite shoulders. Eucharistic Ministers (those who pass out the communion) know by this process that a blessing is given in lue of the Holy communion Eucaristic sacrament. FYI- Catholics believe in seven Sacraments , each has it own spiritual commitment and significants "An outward sign instituted By Christ to give Grace, Christs loving gift of himself to his Church". They are: Baptism, Confirmation, Euchstist, Marriage, Reconciliation, Annoiting of the Sick and Holy Orders. "Through ones Catecumenal Journey we can fully appreciate his gifts when we understand the true nature of the sacraments " Peace to All.
What is the difference between a Mass of non Catholic Eucharist service and a Catholic one?
A Mass can only be said by a priest. A Liturgy of the Word with a communion service can be carried out by a deacon or even a Eucharistic minister with permission of the bishop and pastor. The hosts would have been consecrated by a priest at an earlier Mass. This is now being done in parishes experiencing a shortness of priests.

Why does the Catholic Church use wood blocks on holy Thursday?
Holy Thursday is the mass of the last Supper. After the Gloria, during which bells are rung, the bells go silent until Easter when Jesus is risen. So during communion when the bells are usually rung several times during the communion prayer and consecration, the church used to use wood blocks clapped together instead of bells, a reminder to the people that something special is happening in the Mass. This practice is no longer done in the usual Mass since the Vatican Council.
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.
