How many sacraments does the church of Ireland celebrate?
.The Church OF Ireland is what the same thing as the Church of England, and the Episcopal church in the United States. In other words, it is a Protestant church that basically only considers Baptism and Holy Communion Sacraments, but gives some recognition to the other five. The Church IN Ireland is the Roman Catholic church (to which the majority of Irish belong) and believes in all seven sacraments: Baptism, Confirmation, Eucharist, Penance, Holy Orders, Matrimony, and Unction.
Who the founder of the roman Catholic religions in his world?
Jesus Christ founded the Roman Catholic Church in this world. However, it was actually instituted (physically brought into existence) by St. Peter whom Christ gave a special mission to. If you look at Matthew 16:18, you'll see that Christ gives authority to Peter to found His Church. Peter took this mission to Rome, which was the center of the government, culture, and commerce at his time and he decided to found the church there. Thus the church is called the Roman Catholic Church.
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.
What is the difference between Catholic communion and Catholic confirmation?
In the Roman Catholic Church confirmation is regarded as a sacrament which gives the participant grace. Only the bishop confirms an individual. In the Lutheran Church confiirmation is only a rite in which the individual makes a public confession of the faith received at baptism. It is not a sacrament like baptism and Holy Communion or Lord's Supper. Confirmation follows a somewhat lengthy instruction in basic Bible doctrines.
What does Saint Ignatius compare the Roman Catholic Church and Jesus Christ to?
St. Ignatius of Antioch lived in the first century, dying in the early second century, about 1,500 years before the English coined the epithet "Roman Catholic" so, of course, he never used such a term. St. Ignatius gives us one of the first examples in writing of the use the "Catholic" to describe the Christian Church that Jesus Christ founded, in his Letter to the Smyrnaeans he says:Wherever the bishop appears, there let the people be; as wherever Jesus Christ is, there is the Catholic Church. It is not lawful to baptize or give communion without the consent of the bishop. On the other hand, whatever has his approval is pleasing to God. Thus, whatever is done will be safe and valid.
What is a communion service in the Catholic religion?

Can a Catholic child from a split marriage receive Holy Communion if she is not in the habit of going to Church?
Whether or not you may receive Holy Communion depends on whether you are in a state of grace and properly disposed to receive Holy Communion (and a Catholic). Thus, if you are a Catholic child, and have been to confession recently and are not in a state of sin, and have already made your first Holy Communion, then you may receive Holy Communion. What gives me pause is your "not in the habit of going to Church". Missing a Sunday Mass or a Mass on any Holy Day of your own free will would put you in a state of mortal sin, and you would be unable to receive Holy Communion until you had been in to confession. Your best bet would be to give your local priest a call, make an appointment, and go down and have a talk with him, and make a good confession while you are there. The priest will be able to guide you as to how and when you make receive Holy Communion, and the absolution from the confession will put you in a state of grace to be able to receive Holy Communion.
Who gives the bread in communion?
