Why Can't Non-Catholics Receive Communion?

The Catholic Church allows Orthodox Christians to receive the Eucharist, but sadly, they do not allow us to receive theirs vice versa 🥲

We shouldn't be dividing ourselves as Christians, but rather uniting.

Sr. Anna Ali of The Most Holy Eucharist, pray for us ❤❤🌹🌹🙏🏽🙏🏽

Well as a Lutheran we believe it is, but that doesn't matter, because I don't believe Luther anymore, I believe Orthodox Church

Protestant here, i have been taught and believe that it IS a literal body and blood of Christ

John 17:21 NLT
[21] I pray that they will all be one, just as you and I are one—as you are in me, Father, and I am in you. And may they be in us so that the world will believe you sent me.

Armenia oriental orthodox allows catholics to receive the eucharist . But one day we will ALL be one again . Oriental orthodox , eastern orthodox and the Assyrian church of the east with the Catholic church

As a protestant, I can respect this a lot.

Yes i will agree too i typically am hesitant to take the Eucharist at any church that does not affirm a spiritual presence

[fourikaunix]

Yep, as an Orthodox I ve never witnessed my Catholic friend join us in the holy communion as she is not allowed during this tenet

I’m a protestant and I do believe that’s the true flush and blood of my Lord and Xavier Jesus Christ. Please do not exclude me from my Lord.

As a protestant you CAN believe it. It's not up to the catholics to determine it. Scriptures do.

Also, Catholics must be properly disposed to receive (in a state of Grace, have fasted before hand, etc) For example, those who are divorced and remarried without an annulment can't receive either. When I just sucked down a fancy coffee drink right before I go into Church, I shouldn't receive.

honestly I ate the body of Christ in an orthodox church as a catholic

"We call this food Eucharist, and no one else is permitted to partake of it, except one who believes our teaching to be true and who has been washed in the washing that is for the remission of sins and for regeneration [i.e., has received baptism] and is thereby living as Christ enjoined" from Justin Martyr's First Apology 66 (c. A.D. 151)

I, as a Christian, born into a Lutheran faith, have always believed that the sacrament of communion is the body and blood of Jesus christ. And i believe that there is only one spirit and that the one baptism in the spirit connects all Christians. Religion is going to destroy the body of christ while faith brings us closer. There is not a church on this planet that got the "correct" true faith. The devil and the world corrupt all. We are one in God alone through grace.

That's because the Orthodox church has deemed the Catholic heretic. God bless 🙏🏼

as an orthodox i partook the communion in a Catholic church once, but it was only because i was outta town and there no orthodox church around. i was so hungry for the Body and Blood, i couldn't live without it. so i took it in a Catholic church. felt different because they handed me the bread. and the liturgy felt different. but it's the body and the blood of my King nonetheless, my life.

Eucharistic Rosary:
There are five mysteries to meditate on Eucharistic devotion. 1. the wedding feast at Cana (Jesus changes water 💦 into wine 🍷(John2:1-12) 2. multiplication of loaves and fishes (John 6:1-15). 3. the teaching on the bread of life (John 6:22-71). 4. the last supper (John 14:1-1726). 5. the road to Emmaus (John 24:13-35). Rev. Robert Stein wrote A Scriptural Rosary for Eucharistic Devotion.

Why don’t they let Lutherans take communion when they have the same beliefs about communion.
