Yes he can, at public masses, anyone can attend, but a non-Catholic that is not baptised and is not of proper age cannot receive communion.

One example of non-Catholics going to a Catholic mass is during Christmas, before you are baptised or Easter.

But yes, anyone can partake in mass because Catholics could get more people if the non-Catholic decides to become a Catholic and the Church welcomes anyone that wants to worship God.

Can a priest take a confession from a non Catholic?

Roman Catholic AnswerAnyone can talk to a priest if he has time, but he can only give absolution to a validly baptized Catholic. Confession (Penance) is one of the seven sacraments. In the normal course of events only Baptism may be received by a non-baptized non-Christian (who would then be a baptized Christian). In an extraordinary case, there is a way that a non-Catholic, for instance, an Eastern Orthodox Christian, who believed in the sacrament of Penance and was in danger of death, AND HAD NO WAY TO GET TO HIS PRIEST could apply to a Catholic priest for Penance. In the normal course of events, if you believe in the sacrament of Confession, then you should talk to a priest about instructions with the intention of converting.

Can i be in a catholic wedding if i m not catholic?

*If you are not a Catholic, you cannot be married by a Catholic priest or in a Catholic church. * You need to check that answer above because i don't think you are right. Non Catholics can get married in the Catholic Church. One partner has to be a Catholic and the other should be a baptised Christian but ideally the couple should contact their local priest.
