No, there is no "communion" between Christians and Muslims
There are words that in politics serve to embellish a discourse, but in the mouth of a pope or pontifical account cannot be used as if they were modeling clay. «Communion» is one of them.
The progressive displacement of the Roman Canon in pontifical celebrations has become an observable fact that can no longer be interpreted as mere contingency. Under the pontificate of Leo XIV, the systematic choice of modern eucharistic prayers—especially the third—confirms a stable preference for texts introduced following the 1968 liturgical reform, to the detriment of the venerable Canon that for centuries constituted the invariable nucleus of the Roman rite.
