The Catholic Church does not allow non-Catholics to partake in communion because of differences in beliefs about the Eucharist. Catholics believe in transubstantiation, the belief that the bread and wine actually become the body and blood of Christ during the Mass. Other Christian denominations have different beliefs about the Eucharist, such as consubstantiation or symbolic representation. Allowing non-Catholics to receive communion would imply a unity of belief that does not exist, according to Catholic doctrine.

.Catholic AnswerOf course not, an Anglican is a protestant, a Catholic Church is Catholic.
