Communion In Independent Catholic Church?

[Guest WeingartDude]

I have a question. A good friend of mine attends an independent non-Roman Catholic church. Sometimes I attend a mass with him at his Church just to shop support. In fact I never let that mass count as my Sunday obligation. What is the teaching regarding me, a Roman Catholic receiving communion in his Church? I know the teaching regarding receiving communion in a protestant church and vise versa but is an independent Catholic Church considered protestant? In fact the independent Catholics believe the same way we do in regards to the Blessed Sacrament. I would appreciate any answers!

While I'm at it...thought I would always seek the sacrament of penance from a Roman Catholic confessor...what does our Church teach in regards to the sacrament of Penance in an independent Catholic Church?

Thanks for your help!

From the very little research that I have done, the "Independent Catholic Church" does not belong to the Catholic Church proper. It is very unlikely that their sacraments are valid. I would be very wary of showing support for this "church."
