Not all Christians believe in taking communion for one thing.

The current modern-day American practice of taking a wafer and cup of juice and calling it the "Lord's Supper" is not biblical. The REAL Lord's Supper was a full meal, with believers breaking bread and fellowshipping. The Bible says the only people who should be disallowed from that is those who declare themselves to be brethren but are immoral and divisive.
Below is a link to "The Snack We Call Supper"; please read it and see how far Christians have gotten away from our biblical roots!!!!!!

In Catholicism the Eucharist is the actual Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ. For one to recieve it they are saying that they are in full communion with him and his Church. They accept the teachings of the Church along with all of her Dogma's and are not guilty of any mortal sin.
For someone to recieve it without actually believing this is a lie and offensive to Catholics.

Lack of enlightenment? I know Methodists have open communion - not sure if anyone else does.

Spiritualists acknowledge that communion is symbolic only. It has no bearing in the grand scheme of things.

In Christian (aka Protestant) Churches they can; in European Catholic Churches, all non-European Catholics can't due to intentional religious discrimination laws of the non-profit European Pope against all other non-profit religions on planet earth.
The same religious discrimination tactic is used by Islam and a number of other religions too (like Mormonism).

because they are not in union---if they were-- so many of the ones that call themselves Christians would not abstain from Baptism and they would see the Pope as the vicar of Christ and they would revere Mary the Mother of God and so on.

Because sooner or later, somebody just has to ask: "Do you REALLY believe Jesus is Lucifer's brother?" or some such nonsense. And then it starts.

They are sinners, people who need communion any way they can get it.

Because of internal bickering.
