Katie Holmes reportedly spent the holidays with former husband Tom Cruise. The two decided to split back in 2012, and the reason for the separation was never a secret.
It was widely known that the reason behind their parting was the "Mission Impossible" actor's much-ballyhooed involvement with the Church of Scientology. Cruise, himself, admitted to this after their divorce has been finalized. This information only came to light in a court deposition that also referenced his daughter with Katie Holmes, Suri.
According to Life & Style Magazine, Tom Cruise abandoned Suri after their divorce. As a response, the actor sued the magazine and revealed that his Scientology faith was a huge factor in their split. However, he did insist that it should not have been.
He was asked to talk about his divorce and if Holmes had "indicated, in any way, that that was one of the reasons she left you? To protect Suri from Scientology?" Cruise only answered, "Did she say that? That was one of the assertions, yes."
He was also asked to divulge more details regarding Scientology definition of a "suppressive person." He successfully evaded acknowledging the definition of the term. However, he was confronted with a definition that was derived from the official website of Scientology.
According to the website, "To be declared a Suppressive Person can be done through the commitment of acts deemed Suppressive Acts in the Scientology Justice Codes, which includes the Suppressive Act of publicly renouncing the faith, an act which, in Scientology, as well as almost every religion, is grounds for automatic expulsion."
"When such person is connected to Scientology, for the good of the Church and the individuals in it, such a person is officially labeled a Suppressive Person so that others will know not to associate with them," the website continued.
It then added, "When someone has been expelled from the religion, that person loses both his or her fellowship with the Church as well as with other Scientologists."
Back in the years that Katie Holmes was still with Cruise, she was reportedly excited to inform others that she has decided to join Scientology. Since the separation, she has returned to her Catholic faith.
