I understood one can take communion at another Christian chuch but that it does not fulfill ones Sunday obligation. In other words he still has to take communion at his own church for it to be "legal" Thsi is not blasphemey as I understand it.

You understand it incorrectly. The AME church neither professes nor possess the Real Presence in the Eucharist. A Catholic who partakes in a communion ceremony in a Protestant Church is expressing publicly an indifference to the nature of the sacraments available in the Catholic Church. To partake is to give the wrong impression that it matters not if you attend a Catholic or a Protestant church.

To take communion at a Protestant Church is to commit and act of blasphemy and schism and to leave one suspect of heresy. Blasphemy because there is no Mass or Real Presence among the Protestants, schism because it is an act of union with those who are willfully seperated from the unity of the Catholic Church, suspect of heresy because you have joined in communion with those who reject the Catholic Faith. Catholics are absolutely forbidden from approaching Protestant ministers for their pretend sacraments.
