Catholics and others are welcome to attend an Orthodox service, but they are not permitted to receive the Eucharist, as this is reserved for members of the Orthodox Faith alone.

Is it not right for a non Catholic christian to take communion at catolic mass?

Eastern Orthodox Christians are permitted with special permission to receive the Eucharist from a Catholic Church on certain occasions and other non-Catholic Christians may be able to receive if they are in danger of death, express a belief in the Eucharist, and ask for it on their own initiative. The reason for this is that only the Catholic Church and the Orthodox Church believe in the Eucharist in the proper sense, and furthermore, the Eucharist is a sacrament of unity within the Church, and it would be wrong for those who do not share fully in the unity of the Catholic Church to receive it.


Can a catholic receive communion in Greek orthodox church?

Oh, dude, technically speaking, it's a bit of a gray area. Like, in general, the Greek Orthodox Church has guidelines about who can receive communion, and typically, they prefer you to be a member of their church. So, like, if you're a Catholic popping in for a visit, they might not be too keen on you joining in on the communion party. But hey, if you're really craving that Eucharist, maybe give them a heads up and see what they say.

I was baptized a Roman Catholic but confirmed Orthodox and I married a Greek Orthodox can I have my nephew baptized in a Catholic Church?

Since you are confirmed Orthodox and married a Greek Orthodox, the Orthodox Church requires that any children you may have should be baptized Orthodox. Also, as an Orthodox, you are not allowed to baptize your nephew or any other person in a catholic church. From the Catholic point of view, unless your nephew is to be reared a Catholic, he may not be baptized in the Catholic Church. If he is to be reared Catholic, either by his parents or godparents, the Church will receive him. No you are GREEK orthodox u must not I reapeat not baptisma your child at a catholic church.

What do you have to do to get wine and bread in the Catholic Church?

First off, it is not wine and bread. It has been changed and is the body of Christ. That is probably what is restricting you from receiving communion. The Catholic and Orthodox believe that it had been transfigured, even though it doesn't change form, the bread and wine change in essence. To receive the Eucharist at a Catholic Church, you yourself need to become Catholic and believe in the Transfiguration

Can a Non-Catholic receive Holy Communion at a Catholic church?

Roman Catholic AnswerYes, under very rare and specific circumstances. If a Christian who is not a member of the Church is in danger of death and can not receive the Eucharist from their own priest and if they truly believe that the Eucharist is the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ and if they are in a state of grace, and if they ask for it on their own volition from a priest, then it is allowed. Please note that the person asking would probably be an Orthodox or belong to some other schismatic sect. A protestant or other Christian who does not believe that the Eucharist is truly the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ would have no reason to request Holy Communion from a priest, and, would, according to St. Paul, be endangering their life.
