Can an orthodox boy receive holy communion in a roman catholic church?
No. The Roman Catholic Church practices closed communion, and doesn’t have any shared sacraments arrangements with other churches. For example, the Church of the Holy Apostles in Virginia Beach, Virginia has a common seating area for its Anglican and Roman Catholic congregations. But there are two separate altars, and therefore two different receiving lines depending upon one’s denomination.
