Yes, as long as you are not in a state of mortal sin. To be able to receive Holy Communion worthily one must not be in mortal sin, believe that the consecrated bread and wine are really the Body and Blood of Christ, and have fasted for one hour before receiving Holy Communion. If your wife is not Catholic, she may not receive Holy Communion, but you can.

The above is absolutely true within the Catholic Church. However you can both receive communion if you attend a non-catholic Church (such as an Anglican Church) as Anglicans recognise any communicant member of any other denomination as having the right to receive communion within their own church.

Can you receive communion if you marry a non-Catholic in a non-Catholic church?

.Catholic AnswerYou need to speak to your regular confessor about this as I'm not sure what all the circumstances are, or, for that matter if you are referring to receiving Holy Communion in Church after you married outside of the Church or if you are referring to receiving "communion" in a non-Catholic "church" while engaging in a "marriage" ceremony. To the first, if you have gotten married to a non-Catholic without any kind of preparation or permission from your Bishop, you have excommunicated yourself, and may not receive Holy Communion until you have rectified the situation and made a good Confession. In the second situation, if you have received permission to marry in a non-Catholic Church, you may certainly NOT participate in any "communion service" which they might hold. If you haven't received any permissions, and are doing all of these things, you're in "a heap of trouble" as one of my old confessors used to say, you need to speak to a priest asap and start to get things straightened out. We are talking about your immortal soul here, so pick up that telephone and make an appointment to speak with a priest right now.

Can a Catholic receive Holy Communion if he is divorced and dating?

As long as the person is not remarried he/she can receive Holy Communion. The Catholic Church does not recognize divorce. As far as the Church is concerned, he/she is only separated. However, if this 'dating' relationship is sexual, he/she would be considered to be an adulterer and not able to receive Holy Communion without confession.


May a gay person receive Holy Communion in the Catholic Church?

Catholic AnswerA person who has emotional feelings towards a person of the same gender and who is a member of the Catholic Church, baptized, and has received First Confession, and First Holy Communion, may of course receive Holy Communion as long as they are in good standing, in other words, in a state of grace, with no unforgiven mortal sin on their soul. To receive Holy Communion with mortal sin on your soul, or to receive Holy Communion while not a member in good standing (either you haven't received the appropriate sacraments or you do not believe in everything that the Church teaches) is to seriously endanger your soul to the point of eternal damnation should you die in that state. AnswerYes, homosexuals may receive communion in the Catholic Church. However, the same rules apply to them as to everyone - they must not have any unconfessed serious sins and that would include homosexual sexual relationships.


Is it wrong for a Catholic to act as witness to a same-sex marriage?

.Catholic AnswerYes, for a Catholic marriage is a sacrament from God to give grace to a man and a woman who take each other in a monogamous union for life. Matrimony is a mirror of the love that Our Blessed Lord has for His Bride, which is the Church. Marriage is to be fruitful, one of the two objects of holy matrimony is the begetting of children, the other being the love between the husband and the wife. For the Catholic, there is no such thing as same-sex "marriage". For a Catholic to even attend such an act is a sin, to act as a witness would be pushing into very serious sin meaning that the Catholic could no longer receive Holy Communion without making a sincere confession to a priest.

Can a divorced Catholic receive Eucharist after remarrying without an annulment a non-Catholic?

In a word, no, it is not lawful. A priest may still give you Communion out of ignorance of your situation or out of human respect, but for you to receive It would be sacrilege. The reason is thus: If the first marriage is valid then the civil divorce means nothing; you are still married in the eyes of the Church. The bonds contracted in a valid marriage are binding until the death of one of the parties. The person you are now with is not recognized as your spouse and therefore if you are living with him/her as man and wife it is adultery. Further, even if you are not having intimate relations, your public status as a couple is public scandal. Both these things are grave sins; a priest can lawfully, and is actually compelled, to refuse you Communion and even Absolution in Confession until you put away the person you are living with. Since this is a public scandal, the priest can publicly refuse you the sacraments, meaning that if you approach for Communion, the priest can refuse even though the congregation is watching. Many modern priests, however, fearing to make such a bold stand, may still give you Communion, however, the onus is still on you not to go up or receive It until you have made your peace with God and His Church.
