No. As far as I know there is no agreement between the two Churches for such an arrangement. But I think there is nothing wrong with attending a Maronite mass provided you do not participate in it. Check with your parish priest for an authoritative answer.

I'm unfamiliar with the Maronite Catholic Church specifically, however I do know that Roman Catholics can receive communion(and all other sacraments) from Orthodox Churches. Even if they follow a different Patriarch than the Pope they are still in full communion with the Roman Catholic Church. However I do believe its recommended to receive the Sacraments from a Roman Catholic Church unless a Roman Catholic Priest/Church isn't available.

Yes Maronite is in full communion with the Pope and the rest of the Catholic Church
Maronites are the only rite(particular church) in the Catholic Church that does not have a non Catholic "twin' rite.
You can receive Communion if you are a believingCatholic in the state of grace

Yes.
From a Roman Catholic perspective, you can actually participate in the Roman Catholic Mass as an Eastern orthodox Christian (but not vice versa). But Maronite Catholic, Coptic Catholic, Byzantine Catholic, Chaldean Catholic, etc. - those are all extensions of the Roman Catholic Church.

I do not know about Meronite. You cannot take communion in an Orthodox church if you are Catholic. A Catholic priest should not let you take communion if you are Orthodox. I do not know why you would want to go to both. Orthodox is the first christian church started by the apostles. Roman Catholics broke off later. The Orthodox church still stands up for the original traditions. They are stricter than RC. Go just to the Orthodox church.

Yes marionite is still Roman Catholic as they se the Pope as the head of the church. they are in comunion with you. If I rememebr corectly the Marionite patriarch is a cardnal in the Roman Catholic church. ( Some Unitae metropolitans and Patriarchs are) for some time a church with Cathlolic in the name has meant it was in comunion with Rome.

People who do this have been known to spontaneously explode. Be careful.
