The Church of England is a widespread church ranging from quite Catholic styles of worship through to Pentecostal-style evangelical services. The beliefs are enshrined in the 39 Articles of Faith - statements of belief that are scripture-based as opposed to coming from the Pope and from church authorities. The C of E celebrates the Holy Communion in a similar way to the Catholic mass - in fact the actual words of the service are very similar but most members of the C of E refuse to believe in the transubstantiation of the bread and wine into the body and blood of Christ, rather believing the act of taking the sacrament as a memorial.

What is difference between catholic and Episcopal communion?

The difference in communion between Roman Catholic [R.C.] and Episcopal Church [E.C.] comes from the understanding of what happens at the consecration of the bread and wine. The R.C. church believes that the bread and wine physically change into the Body and Blood of Christ. However, the E.C. believes that the change is solely spiritual. Episcopalians still have bread and wine, but the Body and Blood of Christ is present spiritually, metaphorically.

Why can't Protestants take Catholic communion?

Protestants cannot take Catholic communion because of theological differences between the two faiths regarding the nature of the Eucharist. Catholics believe in transubstantiation, where the bread and wine become the actual body and blood of Christ, while Protestants generally view it as a symbolic representation. This difference in belief leads to restrictions on who can participate in the sacrament.
