[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]By whom should these priests be educated?

You know it's against the rules, but you do it anyway.

If the priest knows you are not a Roman Catholic and haven't had the sacrament of First Communion then he should not be giving you communion. It's that simple.[/quote]

Perhaps they should ask their bishop, who would certainly know that certain Christian Orthodox religions can partake in the Eucharist.

This link further explains as does the following quote from the Catholic Bishops website.  "The Orthodox Churches, the Assyrian Church of the East, and the Polish National Catholic Church are urged to respect the discipline of their own Churches. According to Roman Catholic discipline, the Code of Canon Law does not object to the reception of Communion by Christians of these Churches (canon 844 §3)."  http://www.usccb.org/prayer-and-worship/the-mass/order-of-mass/liturgy-of-the-eucharist/guidelines-for-the-reception-of-communion.cfm

I urge you to also educate yourself as now you can see that I am not breaking any rules. In fact I had my first communion at my baptism, where I was also confirmed. All three sacraments at once, and the Catholic recognizes all three. [/quote]
