The P.N.C.C. is a splinter group that is not in communion ( or even communication) with Rome. Founded by the Rev Hodur in the late nineties ( l890"s and not formally hooked up in the Polish language until l904. Hodurite theology is somethat different also- they have combined Baptism and Confirmation into one sacrament ( as , de Facto, do the Baptists) and to get at the required 7 number- have invented a sacrament -the word of God- the preaching, teaching, or reading of The Bible ( The Word of God) is developed into a Sacrament in the Polish National Catholic Church. The Roman Catholic church knows of no such rite- of course Bible reading is an integral part of the mass, the Epistle and Gospel, for example.

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.

The Eastern Orthodox Church is first most similar to the Catholic Church but I am not sure which other church is the most similar.

The Anglican "church" is the protestant communion that looks most like the Catholic Church.

How is the Catholic Church involved with Christian denominations?
.Catholic AnswerThe Catholic Church looks on our separated brethren with love and concern. All of those who are validly baptized are Christians, and we are responsible for them as our brothers in Christ. The primary effort of the Church with regard to these separated brethren is the ecumenical movement which is the Church's effort to return them to the Church and help ensure their salvation. Many of the efforts by the Second Vatican Council were aimed at reuniting Christians into the Church. The Church has made a lot of headway with specific denominations, such as the Lutherans, and the reunion of those who are Catholic in that they still have valid sacraments and clergy, such as the Orthodox, the Old Catholics, the Polish National Catholics, and the Society of St. Pius X are dear the the heart of the Church.
