''Communio'' is now published in thirteen editions (including German, English, and Spanish).<ref>{{cite web | title=About Communio | website=Communio | url=https://www.communio-icr.com/about | access-date=11 June 2024}}</ref> The journals are independently edited but also publish translations of each other's articles.

It is often considered to be the sister publication and theological rival to the journal ''Concilium'', which was founded in 1965 intending to keep the "spirit of Vatican II" in the Catholic Church after the sessions of the Second Vatican Council had ended. The Communio school emphasized papal primacy and the centralization of the Catholic Church.<ref name=":10">{{Cite book |last=Mariani |first=Paul Philip |title=China's Church Divided: Bishop Louis Jin and the Post-Mao Catholic Revival |date=2025 |publisher=Harvard University Press |isbn=978-0-674-29765-4 |location=Cambridge, Massachusetts |pages=184-185}}</ref>
