The guidelines for receiving Communion, which are issued by the bishops and the U.S. published in many missalettes, explaining, "We welcome our fellow Christians to this celebration of the Eucharist as our brothers and sisters. We pray that our common baptism and the action of the Holy Spirit in this Eucharist will draw us closer to each other and begin to dispel the sad divisions that separate us. We pray that these will be reduced and finally disappear, in accordance with Christ's prayer for us "that all may be one '(John 17:21).
"Because Catholics believe that the celebration of the Eucharist is a sign of the reality of the unity of faith, life and worship, members of churches with which they are not yet fully united normally not admitted to the Communion. Eucharistic sharing in exceptional circumstances other Christians requires permission according to the directives of the diocesan bishop and the provisions of canon law …. "
Scripture is clear that partaking of the Eucharist is one of the highest signs of Christian unity: "For there is one bread, we who are many are one body, because they all partake of one bread" (1 Cor . 10:17). For this reason, it is normally impossible for non-Catholic Christians to receive Holy Communion, to do so would be to proclaim the existence of a unit which, unfortunately, no.
Another reason that many non-Catholics can not receive Communion is for their own protection, since many reject the doctrine of the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist. Scripture warns that it is very dangerous for one not believing in the Real Presence to receive Communion: "For anyone who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks himself on trial. That is why many of you are weak and sick, and some have died "(1 Cor. 11:29-30). http://www.catholic.com/library/Who_Can_ …

Good question and an answer. So just smile at you ………………. question and say what do you think that full communion mean? discover this and you will find your answer. Can I get an amen?
Seriously, it is because of differing views. A Catholic believes the Eucharist is the body and blood of Christ, a Protestant while cree for just the body and blood of Christ. While accepting the Eucharist in another church, they say that they accept and believe that way of thinking. Since it goes against what they believe, the church can not take the Eucharist from the other.
Protestants do not believe in transubstantiation, Catholics do. They believe that when you eat communion wafers that Christ is truly the body and when they drink wine is Christ blood. Protestants do not believe so, we want to take part in it? and vice versa
long as the traditions of the Eucharist are followed with respect no matter who a person is not personally have a problem with a person receiving the Eucharist. when in Rome do as the Romans do
In his epistle, St. Paul explains that one must be properly prepared to receive the Holy Eucharist authentic, or the only result will be a conviction.
All Catholics are schooled to understand exactly what is needed to prepare for receiving the Holy Eucharist in the Catholic Church is not just cookies and grape juice, but the real and substantial body, blood, soul and divinity Jesus Christ makes present to us at the altar at each Mass
It is very unlikely that any Protestant, very important, without preparation, would be a good spiritual condition of receiving the greatest of all the Catholic sacraments.
Moreover, simply because they are Catholics, Protestants have no right to receive the Eucharist in a Catholic Church.
Due to the nature, purpose and effect of the communion in Protestant churches is almost completely different from the Catholic Eucharist, Catholics are forbidden to receive communion in a Protestant service, even if offered.
This eliminates the possibility of confusion and outrage.
The true body and blood of Jesus Christ is the source and summit of all Catholic worship, and is not to be trifled with … Catholics for … or any other person.
nothing. I received a couple of times
Yes, it is wrong for a Protestant to receive the Eucharist in a Catholic Church, (former Protestant, now Catholic)
Because we believe in the real presence of Jesus in the Eucharist, the people who think it is "just a cracker" should not participate.
Accept communion as a "single representative" in a Protestant service is similar to declaring that no longer believe in the real presence in the Eucharist.
Good question, and it is not because Catholics are arrogant, as if once cree previously studied.

Peace!
In short Catholics share a different point of view / belief that the Eucharist is and what it represents. Protestants believe their mere symbolic act, whereas the Catholics believe that transubstantiation is a real place. One is a monument to time is a feast of Christ in the flesh. It is believed that a good preparation to receive the body and blood of Christ should be observed. Meaning you have to be in a state of grace, ie without mortal sins committed. The average visit Protestants did not share the belief that they therefore should not participate.
I do not think it is not taboo for Catholics to participate in the Eucharist ritual elsewhere.
The belief about the Eucharist is often different. Protestants do not have the same beliefs about what is the Eucharist. (not all believe that the Eucharist is the body and blood of Christ - some see it as a symbol or tradition rather than the body and blood) If the belief is correct then it is not seen as an insult to participate in the sacrament. (kind of mocking those who believe they receive the body and blood of the Savior)
I think that anything done with respect and understanding should be quite adequate.
The Catholic Church expects the doctrine of transubstantiation, ie the bread and wine literally become the flesh and blood of Jesus spiritually. Despite the physical appearance remains the same, the substance is changed. It is not a symbol of the last supper and crucifixion, is a share in the last supper and crucifixion (contrary to some erroneous interpretations Protestant, not a 're-crucifixion ").
Few Protestant denominations hold to this doctrine, believing that it is only a symbol of the last supper, Jesus and not the literal flesh and blood, his broken body and shed for the sake of the world. Therefore, to receive communion implies a communion that is not there - do not have this doctrine, and therefore you are not in communion with the Catholic Church.
However, you are forbidden to move forward during communion. Simply cross your arms over your chest to indicate you wish to receive a blessing. In this sense, it is possible to show their communion with the Christian faith in the greatest respect for the Protestant and the communion of the Catholic faith.
Because it probably is poisoned. The question should be why a Protestant to receive anything from a Catholic Church.
