Pastor backing Santorum claims Romney is not a Christian

By Peter Hamby, CNN Political Reporter

Lansing, Michigan (CNN) – A Michigan pastor who introduced Rick Santorum at a Monday campaign event in Lansing claimed that Mitt Romney is not a Christian and said Santorum is the one Republican candidate who can awaken "the sleeping giant" of Christianity.

Kent Clark, the CEO of Grace Centers of Hope, a faith-based homeless outreach facility in Pontiac, warmed up the pro-Santorum audience by calling the former Pennsylvania senator "a man who believes in a creator rather than we being the accidental creation of gas and dust."

    Ironically, there is a core of Protestants who claim Catholics aren't Christians. Ask Jack Chick!

    No one's Christian under their rigid guidelines. American Taliban. I'm leaving the Republican party if smug pious Santorum wins.
