Scientology Branches Out Into Matchmaking: How Tom Met Katie - Page 2
Katie was likely swept off her feet in the same way Nicole was initially, with Tom smothering her with grand gestures of long-stemmed roses and diamond jewelry. It certainly couldn't have hurt matters that Katie once admitted she told her siblings she would one day "marry Tom Cruise."
What's also interesting about this book, which I highly recommend not only for its insight into the core and essence of Tom Cruise, but also a stark and revealing look at Scientology and church leader David Miscavige, is how even-handed and well-written it is. Andrew Morton, despite the bad press the CoS tried to paint about the book, took great pains to present Tom in the most honest light, showing all of his inherent positive qualities like his aforementioned romantic spirit, love of family, hands-on parenting, drive and dedication and superior work ethic, but also the negative, which include a cruel streak a mile wide (as demonstrated with how he treats the women he's "done with"), his blind devotion to Scientology, a hair-trigger litigious sensitivity and an obvious lack of good judgment of people's character (ie, he is essentially BEST friends with David Miscavige despite overwhelming evidence showing DM as being a petty, angry, violent paranoid).
Tom Cruise is no doubt a complicated figure. I fear for Katie Holmes should at any point she even slightly deviate from the path of Scientology, like Nicole Kidman did. It will be the end of her fairy-tale marriage to Tom and likely, the last she will see of her precious Suri. Tom's heart, as painted by Andrew Morton, has room for only one true love, and that is Scientology. For within the arms of the Church, Tom finds the validation, security, adoration and sense of belonging he clearly never received in any of the women, family, awards, or fan worship he was ever bestowed.
And that my friends, is where the Church of Scientology's magnetic pull on celebrities lurks.
