I’m pretty certain protestants have no problem with a catholic taking communion in a protestant church.

[Mr. Lucky]

Protestants are not homogeneous.

In a congregation where the Lord's Supper is thought to be a quaint remembrance of an event from long ago, open communion would likely be practiced. In a congregation where the Lord's Supper is a Sacrament, and the Lord is known to be truly present, probably not.

Nicely ripped to shreds by Father Zuhlsdorf over at What Does The Prayer Really Say.

The author neglects one tiny little word in Canon 844. In some limited circumstances a Catholic may receive from a non-Catholic minister of a church that has VALID sacraments. Canon 844 has to do with reception from Orthodox, Polish National Catholics etc. The example Considine uses, Lutherans, have nothing to do with Canon 844 since they lack valid sacraments.

The article is junk.

I’m pretty sure they do.

Nope. That may be true in some liberal Protestant churches, but it is not the case in the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod (LCMS), nor in the Wisconsin Synod (WELS) or the ELS. See my post 38.

Most definitely in the denomination I and my family belong to (Disciples, the ones with the Chalice and Cross of St. Andrew as their "symbol").

The only requirement is the communicant "accepts Christ as his Lord and Savior" - to quote the weekly lead in by minister.

Grape juice rather than wine and the Deacons serve instead of a Priest, but we take Holy Communion as something any professing Christian can partake in with us. I'd say about a quarter or more of our congregation is former (or is it "lapsed" / "retired"?) Roman Catholic.

Trivia: it's the denomination Reagan belonged to. Eureka College (and Mt. Union, Hiram, and quite a few others) is associated with the denomination.

My daughter went to a Lutheran church until 6th grade. She received her communion in the Lutheran church.

For middle school she went to a Catholic church. She was all excited to receive her first communion there and they yanked her from line.

Catholicism has been hijacked.

Why can’t priests reproduce? So the assets aren’t liquidated among offspring?

The “Protestant” HAS A BIG Problem with a catholic or any other protestant who is not agreement on our theologoy in taking communion at my church.

Irrelevant

[Cronos]

it depends -- as Mr. Lucky points out, Lutherans are a lot closer to us in orthodoxy than, say Baptists are to Lutherans or to us in orthodoxy -- especially in this matter.

If it was to a Baptist community where this is just a mere symbol, it is a different question, as compared to a Lutheran Church to whom this is not a mere representation but the Body and Blood of Christ.

That means we can all, Lutherans, Baptist, orthodoxy etc. share in our prayers to our Lord, God and Savior Jesus Christ, but on other matters, we need to respect each other as brethren in Christ with whom we disagree.
