Can an Orthodox Christian receive communion in a Roman Catholic Church? The Catholic Church allows Orthodox to receive communion because we share the same belief in the Real Presence. It is my understanding, however, that Catholics may not receive communion in the Orthodox Church. I have pinged Kolokotronis for an explanation.

Can an Orthodox Christian receive communion in a Roman Catholic Church? As far as we (Catholics) are concerned, yes. While they use terminology different from ours, we consider their belief regarding what the Eucharist is to be the same as ours.
We suggest that they should, however, follow the discipline of their own Church as to whether they actually receive Holy Communion in our Church.
