The pontiff did say there were some special circumstances in which other Christians could take communion from a Roman Catholic priest to meet the need for "eternal salvation."
I pulled this statement from the article "The Pope Cracks down on Lax Practices" Could you all interprete for me?
Sure.
In an emergency situation (near death, that is), a Christian who professes a belief in the Real Presence in the Sacrament may receive it from a Catholic priest. Even if they are not a Catholic.
Note that this primarily refers to the Orthodox, though some Anglicans and even Lutherans might apply.
Likewise, if I found myself near death and a Catholic priest was not available, I could seek out the services of an Orthodox priest (if he would serve me).
