Are homosexuals welcome to take communion in the Roman Catholic faith?

Being a homosexual is not a sin itself. It is really being a practicing homosexual (One that finds love and follows his true nature) that is a sin. Being tempted to do something homosexual is not a sin either. Homosexuals have to resist their homosexual temptations just like a heterosexual has to resist their heterosexual temptations. The difference is, heterosexuals are allowed to lead happy, fulfilling lives, whereas gay people must lead lives of loneliness and depression, never knowing love of a spouse.
Homosexuals aren't stripped of any privilage as long as they don't commit a mortal sin, this includes receiveing the Eucharist. So homosexuals are welcome to receive the eucharist as long as they didn't commit a mortal sin, such as finding love and getting married.

Can non-Roman Catholics receive the Roman Catholic Sacrament of Holy Communion?
No, unless they are willing to come into the Roman Catholic church. If they don't know that it is wrong then it is not a sin though.AnswerNo they cannot, despite the fact that the Catholic Church recognises baptism in other denominations as long as it is in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.Along with a few other doctrines from which the Catholic Church will not retract, this exclusive and divisive ban on receiving the sacrament of Holy Communion in the Catholic Church for non-Catholics is THE one great stumbling block to ecumenism - especially as almost all other denominations welcome communicant members of other denominations to their own tables with open arms.

Can a Catholic receive communion in Episcopalian church?
No.Episcopalians and any member of the Anglican communion (and I am an Anglican) would welcome a Roman Catholic at the Lord's table for communion, but the teaching of the Church of Rome dictates that Catholics should not receive in another denomination.However, if the Roman Catholic in question still wished to receive in the Episcopalian Church, against the teachings of his own church then he would not be refused the sacrament.Roman Catholic AnswerCatholics may not and can not receive Holy Communion in an Episcopal Church. They may not as receiving Communion means that you believe everything that the Church teaches, so receiving Communion in an Episcopal Church would be an act of apostasy. They can not as Pope Leo XIII in his Bull, Apostolicae Curae issued on 15 Sept 1896 ruled that Anglican (Episcopal) Orders were null and void: in other words, they do not have a valid priesthood and thus cannot confect the Eucharist.
Can a Polish National Catholic receive communion in the Roman Catholic Church?
Technically no; the Polish National Catholic Church is not part of the Roman Communion. But priests don't typically interrogate each communicant before giving them the host..Catholic AnswerFirst of all, there is no "Roman" Catholic Church. It's just Catholic, not Roman Catholic. Roman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is never used by the official Catholic Church. The Polish National Church is a Church which broke away from the Catholic Church after Vatican Council I. However, the Polish National Catholics believe in the Real Presence of Our Blessed Lord in the Eucharist, have a valid priesthood, and valid sacraments. Under current canon law, a Polish National Catholic, in danger of death, who is unable to receive the sacraments from a priest of his Communion, may request the sacraments from a Catholic priest, and with the local bishop's permission, may receive Confession, Holy Communion, and Anointing from a Catholic priest. Please note that this is 1) in danger of death, 2) when a priest from his own Communion is unavailable, 3) and he freely requests it on his own. However, to just go up to receive Holy Communion in a Catholic Church when not in communion with the Catholic Church AND/OR not in a state of grace is perilous to one's spiritual health, and is not something to engage in.
