Romney/Ryan is first major party ticket with no Protestant on it.

Catholics are such a fragmented religion when it comes to politics. This is because the Catholic Church is very pro-environmental, pro-peace, pro-welfare, and anti-gay rights, anti-abortion.  It's a mixed bag politically, that's why you have Catholic politicians like Paul Ryan and John Boehner, and Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden on the other. 

I think if anything it isn't going to change the church's voting patterns, especially among minority Catholics, they're going to vote mostly against Romney/Ryan.

Don't you have the feeling that Obama is becoming Agnostic? If so then we have an Agnostic/Catholic ticket vs. the Mormon/Catholic ticket.

It's implied so far, but I think he might be leaning there. His new same-sex marriage stance reflects this.

What's the basis for these claims of an Obama apostasy?

If he announced that he was an agnostic, I would be pleased, but I fear we have another 2-3 decades to go before America would tolerate a non-religious candidacy.

I'd be pleased too, but I would have to agree on the tolerance of a non-religious candidacy. It will happen soon I bet, but it would be pretty hard.
