Perhaps you have not seen this --- Catholics weren't the only ones who voted for Obama -- even people from your denomination! Oh Horrors!

Catholics hear anti-Obama letter in church (Some idiots wanted "change" so they got it)
Has Obama Lost the Catholic Left?

Obama won the overall religious vote, 52 percent to 46 percent, reversing President George W. Bush’s 51 percent to 48 percent “values voter” victory over Democratic challenger Sen. John Kerry in 2004. Obama also won the Catholic vote, persuaded young evangelical voters to choose him and began to squeeze shut the so-called “God gap” yawning between religious Democrats and Republicans during the Bush era.

How will the roughly 9.1 million evangelical Christians who voted for Obama vote in the next election? Will Obama's actions compel the 31.2 million evangelicals who didn't vote in the 2008 election to vote next time?

Obama Receives 77% of Jewish Vote-- More Than Kerry
White US Catholics move toward GOP, Hispanic Catholics toward Democrats
Among Catholics, Obama job approval rating decreases to 50 percent

The Catholics never have a problem supporting people like John Kennedy, Ted Kennedy, John Kerry, etc. And they certainly don’t have a problem burying people like Ted Kennedy with full Catholic honors after years and decades of passing laws that are anti-Christian (e.g. funding abortion). I suspect they’ll do the same for Nancy Pelosi or John Kerry when their time comes.

I hate to sound cynical but the only reason the Catholics are so rightfully passionate about this is because it will cost them money. It has nothing to do about Church belief, whatever the favor of the day happens to be. It’s all about the bottom line. It has been since the days of Luther.

As far as people of “our” denomination goes, the Catholics here are always telling us there are 30,000 Protestant denomination. So which one are you referring to?
