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.
Why is forbidden to take Communion in a Catholic Church if you are a Christian but not Catholic?
Catholics consider holy communion to be a "sacrament". Sacraments are special graces from God conferred only to Catholics. Most involve a clergy member administering it to the Catholic. As a member of the church, Catholics are required to live a sacramental life which simply means that the sacraments (baptism, reconciliation, holy communion, confirmation, marriage, holy orders, and annointing of the sick) must be administered to the Catholic at various times and frequencies. Holy Communion is one of them, and it must be administered at a minimum of one time per year in the Easter season. As a Catholic, in my personal opinion, I believe that the exclusiveness of this is largely because being so sacred, the sacraments are something that a person must fully understand and commit to. In this case, a Catholic clergy member would only administer the blessed sacrament (the host) to someone he knows is aware of what they are doing (actually consuming the flesh of Christ) and giving the proper respect and awe to our Lord in the form of bread and wine. ~MFC Basically, if you receive Holy Communion in a Catholic Church it means you believe in all the beliefs and teachings of Catholicism, including that of the True Presence of Our Lord in Communion. Few, if any, non-Catholics accept the teachings and doctrines of the Church so would be committing sacrilege by receiving Communion.
How do you receive holy communiom?
There are different ways you can receive holy communion. When you walk up to the Priest or the person giving out communion, you place or hands out one over the other. The person giving out communion will say the body of christ, you will then say amen. As you walk back to your seat you can then choose to cross or to not. Another way to receive holy communion is to kneel on the floor in front of the person giving out communion, open your mouth and it will be placed on your tongue. Either one is correct depending on your personal beliefs. You must have taken classes and have received your first communion, to receive holy communion.
In what way is Mass a sacrament?

How old are most catholics who receive the sacrement of communion?
The answer is about the age of seven or shortly thereafter. This happens when the typical Catholic reaches what is called the Age of Reason (see link). This is done so that the child can make use of the sacraments of Reconciliation and Holy Communion to combat personal sin that they are now morally culpable for. Many factors can impact a decision on when to actually administer these sacraments to the child. Emotional maturity is a pretty good one. This can extend or shorten the decision to another point in life.
