I am not a Catholic, but I would think that they would follow the Biblical instruction, that "AS OFT(en) as ye (you) do it (in regards to the Lord's Supper/Eucharist/communion), think of me(Christ who is bread that was broken, and His blood symbolizing but not becoming the blood of Christ).

Answer from an Ex-CatholicNo. As long as you comply with pre-requisites; Confessing your sin and done your penance.

If you have not comitted any sin/s between communions, then you don't need to confess.

You can take communion twice within a 24 hour period. You cannot take communion more than that in a 24 hour period.

Addendum:

It is perfectly okay to receive communion twice per day in the Catholic Church but no more than twice. However, let us say a person attends mass at 8:00 AM and then again a funeral or wedding mass later in the day. Then that person assists at an evening anticipated Mass to comply with the Sunday obligation. That person could receive again as the Church considers that to be a Sunday mass. So, the person received communion three times in a 24 hour period and it was completely within Church guidelines. I am aware of just such a situation that arose recently in my parish and the pastor said it was proper.

Can an Anglican take communion in a Maronite church?

.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. Aside from all that, Catholics to not "take" Holy Communion, they "receive" Holy Communion.

Can episcopal take commumion in the catholic church?

In a Catholic church, the priest can not actually stop a person from taking communion during the mass, so really any one can go up and take communion. Now people in the Episcopal church and Catholic church both believe in Transubstantiation. This is the idea that the bread and wine are turned into the body and blood of Christ by God when the priest prays to God to do so. That is the main reason why the Catholic church does not want other Christians to receive communion if they are attending a Catholic church because most Protestant sects only see the bread and wine as symbols, and do not believe in Transubstantiation. But since Episcopals believe in it, they should be able to take communion in a Catholic church without that problem.


Can a Church of Ireland receive communion in the Roman Catholic church?

I take it that you mean if a member of the Church of Ireland receive Communion in the Catholic Church. Well the Church of Ireland is an branch of the Anglican Church and thereby not in union with the Bishop of Rome, so no, a member of the Church of Ireland cannot receive Communion in the Catholic Church. To receive Communion in the Catholic Church, you are to be Catholic united to Rome and accept the doctrine of transubstantiation in the Eucharist. Now if you are a member of the Catholic Church in the country of Ireland, yes you are allowed to because you are Catholic in that sense, but again, an Anglican member of the Church of Ireland cannot receive Communion unless they convert to Catholicism and accept all teachings taught by the Magisterium concerning the Eucharist..Catholic Answer.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. Short answer: No, the Church of Ireland is a protestant Church, and is most definitely not in "Communion" with the Catholic Church. The only way that an Anglican (member of the Church of Ireland) may receive Holy Communion in a Catholic Church is to convert. Pope Benedict issued a Motu Proprio several years ago, which allows Anglicans to convert to the Catholic Church and retain their own usages in the Latin Rite, it is call the Anglican usage, see link below.

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.
