Question from on 04-19-2007:
We are a Catholic family. Part of our extended family is Episcopal. Is it wrong for us to receive communion in their church when we are visiting them? The Episcopal priest refers to the Eucharist, and the mass is almost exactly like ours. Can they receive communion in our Catholic church we they visit us? Thanks.
Answer by Rev. Mark J. Gantley, JCL on 04-19-2007:
It is true that their rituals are very similar to ours. However, Episcopalians do not have valid Eucharist. Thus, it is NEVER permitted for a Catholic to receive. Generally speaking, they are not permitted to receive Catholic sacraments either."
