Inside peek at Romney's pitch to evangelicals

For months, Mitt Romney has been courting Christian evangelicals, who share many of his stands on social issues, but harbor doubts about his Mormon faith.

An audio recording obtained by CNN gives an inside glimpse at his sales pitch.

Romney spoke Tuesday at an invitation-only meeting with students, faculty, and alumni of Bob Jones University in Greenville, S.C., a fundamentalist school whose chancellor and arts and sciences dean have endorsed him, to the chagrin of some on campus.

Romney told those in attendance that "I get good support from evangelical Christian leadership around the country, you know, despite a difference in religion," according to a report posted today on CNN's website.

Romney spent most of his remarks talking about shared values with evangelicals. He was asked about his relationship with Chancellor Bob Jones III, who endorsed Romney last month but once called Mormonism and Catholicism "cults which call themselves Christian."

"I've met with Dr. Jones a couple of times," Romney said. "We've had good long discussions. And we've talked, as you might imagine, we don't talk about doctrines of churches, all right? Because he says, 'Look, your church is wrong,' and I say, 'Fine.' "

Romney said he has assured Jones that they agree on priorities and that Romney can win next November against the Democratic nominee, whether it's Hillary Clinton or someone else.

CNN said the recording was made without the knowledge of the Romney campaign or university officials and provided by an alumnus frustrated by the endorsements. Dean Robert Taylor confirmed the recording's authenticity, CNN said.
