Katie Holmes’ pregnancy in 2005 caused a storm in the media. It was reported that the actress would not be able to make any sound during the birth of her child. Newspaper headlines said that the Scientologist Tom Cruise had made her a special “pacifier” for the occasion, which would keep her from screaming in pain. According to the rules of the Church of Scientology, the birth should take place in complete silence to maintain the sanctity of the child and mother and the safety of the house where they will live. Cruise, however, during the TV show Barbara Walters, claimed that he would not prohibit his partner from making sounds.
There have been suggestions that, according to our beliefs, a woman in labor cannot make any sound. It’s absurd. I want Katie to be as comfortable as possible. She should be calm, but that doesn’t mean she can’t make any sound
he said.
Katie Holmes’ Silent Childbirth
According to Scientologists, the ideal childbirth is one without anesthesia, without any drugs, without screaming to help you survive the pain and without outside voices. The founder of the Church of Scientology, L. Ron Hubbard, claimed that noise was life-threatening to a child. He said that “the soul becomes burdened with engrams, i.e. changes left in the nervous system and brain by a painful mental or physical experience.”
Katie Holmes followed her husband’s principles. Moreover, the actor exercised complete control over the development of the fetus. An ultrasound machine was installed in their house so that Cruise could “keep an eye on Katie’s womb”. He was not even disturbed by the doctors’ warnings that it endangered the child’s safety.
The birth took place on April 18, 2006, at Saint John’s Health Center in Santa Monica. Tom had everything recorded. He later said that it was the most beautiful moment of his life and that Katie “did a medal”. The Sun also reported that during labor he reminded his partner not to scream.
Everyone around Katie was banned from talking and making noise. The nurses communicated in sign language
the media later reported. Years later, it turned out that after the birth of the child, Katie was surrounded by followers of the sect.
In 2012, Katie freed herself from her husband’s influence and took control of her life and that of her child. She did not allow the man to send his daughter to a survival school run by a sect. The couple divorced, and the actress has custody of their daughter. Cruise broke off contact with the child because the Church of Scientology does not allow contact with people who have left the sect. However, he pays maintenance in the amount of 400,000. dollars a year.
