Best Answer

when you take communion, you eat blessed bread and wine, that represent Jesus's body and blood that he gave for our sins, and so that we could go to heaven. We ingest the blessed food and drink, which means we have Jesus inside our bodies, blocking evil from our minds and bodies.

Why do Church of England churches let Catholics take communion?

The Church of England allows Catholics, and I presume others, to receive communion out of a "spirit of Ecumenism." Whilst they allow this, a Catholic should not partake of communion with any "church" which is not in communion with Rome; as to do so, is an explicit consent to the believes and teachings of said "church." Please see the link below for a full explanation as to why it is wrong for Catholics to receive communion in a Church not in communion with Rome.
