“A Muslim politician and at least one Protestant politician have received Communion at Masses celebrated by bishops during a multi-day Catholic event in Germany.”

Why are Muslims and non-Catholic protestant members receiving Catholic communion?

“The Catholic Church has a variety of rules and guidelines about who can receive Communion. For example, only baptized Catholics are eligible to receive Communion.”

Untrue. Orthodox Christians in good standing who believe in the real presence are able to receive Communion from a Catholic. That being said, most Orthodox bishops will advise their members against receiving communion from Catholics unless no Orthodox communion is available.

Why do Catholics hate non-Catholics so? How "exclusionary" and "discriminatory"!
