The Catholic Church, given the authority of God to teach (Matthew 28:16-20), must uphold the dignity of every human life from conception to natural death, since life is a gift of God and therefore subject to the protection of the Church.

In other words they believe it's a life from conception and taking that life is against the commandment Thou shall not kill.

.Catholic AnswerOf course not, an Anglican is a protestant, a Catholic Church is Catholic. An Anglican may receive Holy Communion in a Catholic Church after completing RCIA classes and being brought into the Church at the Easter Vigil, but if they wish to remain an Anglican, they are, by that very fact, proclaiming that they are not in communion with the Catholic Church, so to receive Holy Communion in a Catholic Church would be a lie and dangerous to their spiritual well-being.
