Apparently the Catholics got mad at Ryan for those quotes and Ryan was later forced to say that he did not believe in the philosophy of Ayn Rand, that it is an atheist philosophy and blah blah blah.
Rand's writing has some very good points but nearly all of her fans (all believing Christians, for example) reject at least part of her Objectivist philosophy.

Ryan’s point was that he didn’t have to agree with her views on God in order to agree with her political/economic philosophy. What’s the problem?

The vast majority of Catholics did not get mad at Ryan. A few left wing academics criticized Rep. Ryan and the MSM falsely claimed that they spoke for Catholics and represented the opinions of most Catholics. Nothing could be further from the truth.
