Well, she isn’t Catholic, so they would deny her Communion were she to present herself. One must be Catholic, in communion with the Church’s teachings and in a state of grace in order to worthily receive Holy Communion.
***And it is those catholic leaders who are denying communion to Biden. The leaders in Palin’s church are not denying communion to her. If you were a catholic (sounds like you might be) and the leaders of your church denied communion to you, would that put you at the mainstream or the extreme?

I don't know if her church even has communion.
