In the missaletes I have seen in various Catholic churches, Polish National Catholic Church members are always included with those who can take Communion in Catholic Churches, although it is urged that they respect the discipline of their own Church. I’ve never seen any mention of Old Catholics being able to take Communion in regular Catholic churches.

I’ve read up on them and they broke with Rome a generation after Vatican I, over Church ownership and vernacular (Polish) Liturgy. Kind of an interesting group.

I believe they were expelled from the Union of Utrecht based on their refusal to Ordain women (though I think they may have Deaconesses). They also have some crazy ideas about Grace and the Sacraments.

I’m pretty sure the Holy See takes a charitable view towards their Orders too.

They’re so small I doubt their are any FReepers here who are/were a member of the PNCC to give us an inside perspective.

I'm not so sure, just in the last month I came across an Australian Zoroastrian Freeper and a Freeper living in Pago Pago, American Samoa. Freepers are everywhere!
