Communion in the Catholic Church

CertifiedOrthodox
edited December 1969 in Coptic Orthodox Church
Hi,

I heard that as Orthodox Christians, we do believe that it is the Holy Body of Christ that Catholics partake of during their mass. If this is the case, are we allowed to take communion in a Catholic Church if we are in a country where there are no Orthodox Churches?

I think its best to ask my FoC (of course!), but i'm just generally curious about this issue at the same time.

Thanks for any feedback you may have on this topic,

    dogmatically speaking, NO, but there are exception for SOME cases with clergy permissions.
