I believe Christians of all denominations are offended but it has been my observation that often the media sees only Catholics as Christians OR think that Catholics represent all Christians. I don't know why, if they think Catholics are the only legitimate Christians or what but when referring to Christian matters in the news, the majority of the time the report makes it appear that Catholics are the only ones affected when offense is made towards Christ. I just don't get it.

I think the author used that term because the complaint came from the Catholic League. Apparently, they don't feel it's just Catholics who are offended:

When the Catholic League’s William A. Donohue got wind of it, he fired a letter to ABC saying that such "an incredibly anti-Christian statement" should not be "rewarded."
