Katie Holmes TO QUIT Scientology

Katie Holmes has reportedly dropped a bombshell on her husband Tom Cruise by announcing her intention to quit Scientology.

Buoyed by her new-found independence in New York, Katie finally took the plunge and told Tom of her plans to turn her back on the religion after beginning to question some of its rules and practices.

Now friends say that the star couple's marriage may be facing a crisis as strict Scientologist Tom contemplates having to tone down the rules he has reportedly laid down to raise daughter Suri, 2.

"Katie got bold and told Tom that she's ready to leave the religion," claims a friend. "Tom is worried and now their marriage may have to change in a lot of ways."

It is common knowledge that anyone who rejects the church must be disconnected from their family, friends and children. As a result, friends say Tom has waged a desperate battle to change his wife’s mind about the religion.
“Tom is completely horrified; he’s desperate for Katie to stay, but Scientology is everything to him and he can’t imagine it not being the guiding influence in their lives.
If Tom fails, former high-ranking Scientologist, David Graham, told “Woman’s Day” magazine that this could put an irrecoverable strain on their marriage.
He states, “You are required to disconnect if the handling doesn’t work and, in the process of disconnecting, you write to them and tell them that you can have no more to do with them.”
Katie joined Scientology shortly after she started dating Tom Cruise and initially claimed to enjoy the gruelling purification processes, 5 hour saunas, intensive and intrusive auditing sessions where she is forced to divulge all of her darkest secrets and sins.
David Graham says that it’s not unusual for members to start questioning the religion as they progress through the hierarchy; “Initially, when you first become involved it does seem a bit like therapy.
However, eventually, you realise that all of its promises of a perfect memory, increased intelligence and freedom from life’s stresses and strains are a lie.
Then, when you reach the OT3 level it starts to become pure science fiction and you realize that the “religion” is completely crazy.
Will the fate of Katie Holmes follow that of Nicole Kidman, who was stunned to receive divorce papers two weeks after publicly revealing she was, “a little bit of Buddhism, a little bit of Scientology … and a big part of me is still a Catholic girl.”
