He may be waiting you to respond with 'Amen' when he says 'The Body of Christ.' If you do not respond he may think you do not believe in the True Presence of the Lord in the Eucharist. Too many Catholics today do not really know how to receive communion.

Can a divorced Catholic receive communion if they did not marry in a Catholic church in the first place.?
A Catholic cannot marry outside of the Church, this means that in this time this person has been living in sin, living conjugally outside the bonds of marriage. This Catholic would need to repent and go to confession before receiving Holy Communion.
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 Protestant receive communion in a Catholic church?
Catholic Answer No. First of all, Methodists do not have the Eucharist, they have a memorial service that they commemorate the Last Supper but they do not believe that it actually is the Body and Blood of Christ. Secondly, any real, active participation in a Protestant service in their church is not permitted to a Catholic as we have the fullness of Christ's revelation and we are supposed to be bringing the truth to them and bring them back to the Church, not showing support for error. But they have been baptised, and thus are Christians, so we must show respect and brotherly love, concern, etc.: NOT support for the errors.
What prayer do you say before receiving communion?

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.
Can a man whose wife is not Catholic receive communion?
Yes, as long as you are not in a state of mortal sin. To be able to receive Holy Communion worthily one must not be in mortal sin, believe that the consecrated bread and wine are really the Body and Blood of Christ, and have fasted for one hour before receiving Holy Communion. If your wife is not Catholic, she may not receive Holy Communion, but you can. The above is absolutely true within the Catholic Church. However you can both receive communion if you attend a non-catholic Church (such as an Anglican Church) as Anglicans recognise any communicant member of any other denomination as having the right to receive communion within their own church.
