Holmes put on Scientology 'mom classes'

Tom Cruise is making certain his baby daughter Suri is raised a Scientologist from the earliest age.

The Mission Impossible star is going to such extreme lengths, he's now told his wife Katie Holmes she must attend 'mommy classes' run by Scientologists.

Holmes, 28, is said to be offended by the Mission Impossible star's ludicrous demands.

A source close to the couple told US magazine: 'Katie is quite offended.'

'Can you imagine when you're 28 and have your child to be told you need to go to this church to become a better mom?'

According to reports, Cruise is doing everything possible to keep his wife on the Scientology straight and narrow, even hiring a minder for the new mother.

The former Dawson's Creek star's minder is 'to make sure that nothing is said or done that would be critical of the church.'

Tom has ensured most of the couple's staff are Scientologists.

The source adds: 'Everyone who works with Tom is technically minding Katie.'

The new restrictions on Holmes must be a suffocating culture shock, as she used to give interviews without a publicist in the past.

The couple married in a star studded Italian wedding last year.
