- Comments Off on Katie Holmes full blooded Scientologist
The conversion has finished and Katie Holmes is now a full blooded Scientologist. Tom Cruise tells all in an interview with Diane Sawyer. the following is an excerpt:
Cruise suggested Scientology’s doctrine of “silent birth,” emphasizing a calm, quiet atmosphere in the delivery room, free from screaming and shouts of “push!,” was misunderstood and exaggerated by the media.
“It’s basically just respecting the mother, you know, and helping to be quiet. (But) not the mother. The mother makes as much noise … you know, she’s going through it. She does what she’s gotta do, OK?”
Contrary to perceptions that Scientology frowns on giving painkillers to women in labor, Cruise added: “We’re there, you know, with doctors. … Whatever the woman wants. … If she needs an epidural, she’s gonna get her epidural.”
He denied a tabloid report that he had bought an adult pacifier to muffle the moans of his 27-year-old fiance.
Asked whether their baby would be given a Catholic baptism, Cruise said, “No,” then added: “I mean you can be Catholic and be a Scientologist. You can be Jewish and be a Scientologist. But we’re just Scientologists.”
“Katie, too?” Sawyer asked.
“Katie, too,” he replied.
It was the first public acknowledgment from the couple that Holmes has joined Cruise, one of Scientology’s most prominent adherents, in embracing a faith founded by science-fiction writer L. Ron Hubbard.
I bet the prenuptial is really good, for the family to be OK with Katie becoming a Scientologist.
