Katie Holmes' Heartwrenching Choice: Scientology and Suri, or Freedom From Tom?
Â
There is a building crisis in the Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes household. Recent pictures and stories have shown us a growing independent streak within Tom's young wife Katie --but independent thinking and actions might not be without its price.
Tom Cruise is a well-known control freak and that controlling nature extends to every aspect of his life. According to an interview on "Scarborough Country" with "E!'s" Ted Casablanca, the celebrity biographer Andrew Morton (Princess Diana, Monica Lewinsky and the Beckhams) is currently writing a tell-all book about Tom Cruise, but is having difficulty finishing it. Despite having written about the royal family, who are notoriously private and insular, Morton said 'he has never met anything like Tom Cruise before, that the royal family is no comparison to Tom Cruise - he's such a control freak.'
Much like his character in the film Magnolia, Cruise is a manipulator of women, especially those whom he deems as easily malleable - like say, Katie Holmes -- a beautiful young star who openly stated that she had childhood fantasies of marrying Tom Cruise. How eerily perfect. When trying to find a replacement for his estranged ex-wife Nicole Kidman, Tom didn't so much date around, as peruse resumes of up and coming starlets. Resumes, that were likely scrupulously overseen by his Scientology brethren.
Tom Cruise takes Scientology VERY seriously. This is not so much a faith, as it is a calling.Â
Though raised a Catholic, so Catholic in fact he considered entering a seminary to become a priest, Tom Cruise later abandoned that faith for a new calling, Scientology. What is Scientology? Well, you won't find the whole answer to that question here, as Scientology is extremely secretive, and only those at the top have any idea what it is really about. But to get to that "top" level you will needs millions of dollars and years and years of training and exposure to the "religions" inner machinations. It also helps to be extremely powerful, like for example, one of the most recognizable movie stars in the world. Someone who could almost be considered a spokesperson, a beacon of sorts: a Christ of Scientology. And that's what Tom has become.
