Can Episcopalians receive Catholic eucharist

Answer 1

No, only practicing Catholics who have properly prepared their hearts. When Catholics receive the Eucharist, the priest first says, "The Body of Christ" then the individual responds with "Amen". The word Amen means 'i believe'. Episcopalians do not believe in Jesus' True Presence in the Eucharist. Thus, it would 1) be contradictory to their beliefs to receive Communion and 2) it would be a sin for them.

Addendum

I ought to add here as a rider, that Episcopalians are a church within the Anglican Communion, and, as such, have a broad spectrum of belief and tradition. Within the Anglican Communion there are many Christians (so-called 'Anglo-Catholics') that are Roman Catholic in belief, including Jesus' True Presence in the Eucharist, but with one exception; they reject the authority of the pope. This includes mambers of all Anglican Churches - including Episcopalians.

However, despite their belief in transubstantiation, they too are rejected by the Roman Catholic Church and cannot receive the Catholic eucharist. This has caused much grief and heartache in the Anglican Church which is trying to work towards better understanding between our fellow RC Chrictians.

Answer 2

Nope. Only Catholics and those of religions which are in full communion with the Roman Catholic Church can receive communion at a Catholic Mass.
Only under extreme circumstances can this be abrogated.

The following Porotestants received communion

Contrary to reports that Br Roger Schutz had converted to Catholicism, the Taize founder, who received Communion from then-Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger at John Paul II's funeral, found his own Christian identity reconciling his Protestant origins with the mystery of the Catholic faith, his successor says.

Dialogue with the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, with the approval of the Holy See, led in 1996 to an arrangement that Laurence J. Orzell has called "limited inter-communion".[8]What this means is that the Catholic Church recognises the validity of the sacraments of the PNCC, making applicable to its members the provisions of canon 844 §§2-3 of the Code of Canon Law. This canon allows Catholics who are unable to approach a Catholic minister to receive, under certain conditions, the sacraments of Reconciliation, Eucharist and Anointing of the Sick from "non-Catholic ministers ministers in whose Churches these sacraments are valid", and declares it licit for Catholic priests to administer the same three sacraments to members of Churches which the Holy See judges to be in the same condition in regard to the sacraments as the Eastern Churches,

Answer 3

An Episcoplain cannot be confirmed in the Catholic church without entering into full communion, which means communion in the Cathoolci church and change of religion to Catholic throughthe RCIA program. So I do not understand how this could be. At any rate, an Episcopalian or any other denomination cannot receive communion in the Catholic church at this time

Answer 4
