May Greek Orthodox people receive Holy Communion in the Catholic Church?
Yes, they may receive Holy Communion in a Catholic Church. Members of the Orthodox Churches are the only non-Catholics who may do so.Orthodox view:No, the Orthodox Church does not allow its members to receive Holy Communion in any other church. Whilst the Roman Catholics allow the Orthodox to do this, the Orthodox themselves are not allowed to partake, as they are not in communion with the Roman Catholics. Perhaps this situation may change in the future, but for now it is not permitted.

Can a catholic receive communion in Greek orthodox church?
No they cannot. The Orthodox Chruch and Catholic Church are not in communion with one another and are not able to receive the Eucharist at other churches legitmately. -UPDATE- In the past few years this practice has been changed. Orthodox believers can now receive communion in a Roman Catholic Church and Roman Catholics can now receive communion in an Orthodox Church, however either should only be done in a time of necessity. Great strides are being made in bringing the two churches back together again as it was in the beginning. Catholics will give communion to an Orthodox but an Orthodox is not supposed to take communion anywhere but in the Orthodox Church. I have yet to see communion given to a Catholic in an Orthodox church. If you are not baptised Orthodox you are not given the Holy Mystery in the Orthodox Church. In my church, the Priest will not give communion to anyone unless they have had confession, and will certainly not give communion to ANYONE, not even a Catholic, if they are not Orthodox. It is not allowed.
Did the eastern church become the Greek Orthodox church?
No, the Greek Orthodox church is a part of the Eastern Orthodox Churches.
