Yes, Protestants can participate in communion at Catholic churches, but it is generally recommended that they respect the beliefs and practices of the Catholic Church regarding the Eucharist.
Protestants by definition protest some Catholic teachings. The various branches of Protestantism broke away from the Catholic Church in the 1500s. Eastern Orthodox churches broke away earlier after disagreements over doctrine, so could also be said to "protest" some Catholic teachings, although Orthodox and Catholic churches are often said to be "in communion" with each other, which cannot be said of Catholic and Protestant Churches.
Ordinarily, a Catholic should only receive Holy Communion in a Roman Catholic Mass. Most other churches are not in communion with the Pope and disagree on certain doctrines, and so have removed themselves and established themselves as a separate church. Catholics believe that because of this, their communion is not the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Jesus Christ. To participate in their communion would mean that one would be participating in their service, which would be to deny the Catholic Faith's teachings on the Eucharist, etc. Therefore, a Catholic usually cannot receive communion in these churches. There are possibly some exceptions - see your local Catholic priest to learn about it.
.Catholic AnswerCertainly not, first of all, one may never TAKE Holy Communion. One may only RECEIVE Holy Communion, and that only in a Catholic Church and IF one has been to Confession recently. Given those conditions, yes, one may receive Holy Communion at another Catholic Church; certainly not at any heretical sect nor at one of our separated brethren. The former, the various protestant denominations are not actually "Churches" having no valid priesthood, no valid sacraments, etc. To participate in one of their services is to apostatize and to declare that you are no longer a Catholic. The later, the Orthodox Churches, the old Catholic Churches, Polish National Churches, and chapels run by St. Pius X priests are all in schism and are not in inter-communion with the Catholic Church.
Tudor religion was a problem to the Tudors since there where protestants and Catholic's when Henry VIII came on the scene it all went wrong cause he was a Catholic which means he was against the Protestants so he then shut all protestant churches down since he wasn't a protestant and then made them all catholic churches so that ment them that there wasn't a church for the protestants so the catholic's didn't like the protestants and the catholic's didnt like the catholic's !
because the protestants were rebelling against the catholic churches rule and authority since they did not like the catholic churches way of ruling
A Roman Catholic will never receive communion in other churches.
Yes. It is often called "Communion" or "The Lord's Supper" and most Protestant churches celebrate it regularly.
In Catholic churches and possibly others, the communion rail is what is left of the rood screen. It was a separation between the congregation and the altar area of a church.
In Catholic Churches (and some other denominations) they call it the 'altar'. However, the term 'altar' suggests a sacrifice, as per the altar at the Temple in Jerusalem. in the Catholic Church, they believe that the sacrifice of Jesus is reenacted at each mass (communion service) , and therefore, for the, the term 'altar' is appropriate. The protestant churches, however, tend to follow scripture more and regard Jesus's sacrifice as a once-for-all sacrifice, as per Paul's teaching. Therefore they tend to call it simply the Communion Table or even the Lord's Table.
There are far more Catholics than Protestants.
According to the Catholic Church, members of the orthodox Churches are technically schismatics, because they do not recognize the pope but have the same basic beliefs. Protestants are technically heretics because they do not believe certain doctrines of the Catholic Church.
They are a place of worship and in the Roman Catholic Church, it is normally the place for doing the Sacrifice (Holy Communion).
