Reporter claims Pope approves Communion for all remarried who ask

Italian journalist Eugenio Scalfari, co-founder and former editor of La Repubblica, speaks on Italian television Feb. 1. Scalfari wrote in La Repubblica about his Oct. 28 telephone conversation with Pope Francis. The journalist claims the pope said that in principle Communion for the divorced and civilly remarried was accepted by the recent Synod of Bishops on the family.

VATICAN CITY - The Vatican spokesman described as obviously "unreliable" an Italian journalist's claim that Pope Francis told him that following the Synod of Bishops on the family, "all the divorced who ask" will be admitted to Communion.
