At the Last Supper, Jesus said, “Take this bread. It is my body.” The he said, “Take this and drink. This is my blood. Do this in memory of me.”
Catholics believe this was the First Eucharist, that through some miracle the bread and wine actually became the body and blood of Jesus Christ.
Catholics reenact the Last Supper during every Mass, where the priest, acting in place of Christ, changes the bread and wine into the body and blood of Jesus Christ.
This is a great sacrament of thanksgiving and unity of Catholics.
Anyone who does not believe in the actual presence of Christ and is not united with the Catholic faith is asked, out of respect, not to receive the Eucharist.
Catholics, out of respect for other Christian faiths, do not receive Communion in non-Catholic churches.
We pray that one day Christian unity will succeed and we will all be called to the same table.
With love in Christ.

No, it is only appropriate for a Catholic who is a state of grace (no unconfessed mortal sins) to receive communion at a Catholic Church.
Additionally, it is inappropriate for a Catholic to receive communion in a Church of England service.
The Catholic view of communion is that it is a sign of our unity in Christ. At the present time, there are too many disagreements in doctrine for anyone to say that the Church of England and the Catholic Church are in full communion with each other.

No you are not. For two reasons. First, Protestants do not believe that the Eucharist is the body and blood of Christ, and to receive it while rejecting this central truth of Christian worship would be sacrilegious. And secondly, the Eucharist is the principle symbol of unity in Christ's Church - that's why it is called "Communion" - and those who are separated from Christ's Church by receiving the Eucharist, would thereby be falsely symbolizing a unity that doesn't exist.

Actually, Catholics can be received into the Anglican Communion.And if you are getting married and have been baptized yes you can and should receive communion. it's Catholics who limit Anglicans, not the other way around.

No. If you were IN COMMUNION with us you wouldn't be in the Church of England. You would be a Catholic.

Imbibing or ingesting something of another faith will not change your religion. Some would consider it religious ettiquette, while others would consider it blasphemy. Go with what ya know... I'm pretty sure you won't find yourself spiraling into hell for this... I'll say a prayer for ya, though! LOL @;}

No. I was invited to a catholic church once by a catholic friend and then she told me I wasn't welcome to take Communion. She wouldn't even set foot in my church (Anglican) in case she burned in hell. Dear me...

Not according to the Vatican. Technically you're a heretic and lots of other good things.
