Katie Holmes Does Not Want Suri Sent To Scientology’s Sea Organization

Something tells me that, no matter what, Scientology is going to figure prominently in the Tom Cruise – Katie Holmes divorce. TMZ reports that the reason Katie filed for divorce and wants sole custody of Suri is because Katie does not want her daughter shipped off to Scientology’s Sea Organization, according to “sources close to Katie.” From what’s described below, this could be a “parenting practice” that the court scrutinizes pretty closely.
Sea Org, as it is known, is where the highest levels of Scientology are taught and kids as young as five can be sent to live there … without their parents — and our sources say Tom is a big fan.
Our sources say Katie and Tom had been arguing over Suri’s indoctrination into Scientology — and we’re told the Sea Org was the flashpoint. The Sea Org has been often compared to a boot camp and several ex-Scientologists (including Oscar winner Paul Haggis) have been outspoken against its military-like conditions…
According to the official Scientology website, members of Sea Org sign “a one-billion-year pledge to symbolize their eternal commitment to the religion and it is still signed by all members today.”
Apparently once Katie began dating Tom she got an assistant who was from Scientology’s Sea Org. The assistant accompanied Katie to an interview for W magazine, and the writer described Katie’s assistant as ”cold-eyed.” Katie reportedly felt the only way to keep Suri from being sent to Sea Org was to divorce Tom and get sole custody. Personally, I don’t know WHAT to think, although if this is true, I would feel like Katie does. Do you believe it?
