Tom Cruise and Katie HolmesAccording to the Sun, Tom Cruise has made a visit to the Church of Scientology Center in Hollywood a few hours after the birth of his daughter, Suri.

An insider told the newspaper: “Tom would have been required to report back about the birth, tell them if it was silent or not and if Katie was given drugs. He would have been asked to hand over notes and recordings to supervisors who will determine if anything traumatic happened to the mother and baby. If so, Katie will be given extra counselling — or auditing as the church calls it.”

Katie apparently followed the Scientology guideline of staying completely silent during the birth and medical staff had to communicate to each other and to Katie using hand gestures. Scientologists believe that a noisy birth can traumatise a child later in life.

Fellow Scientologist Kirstie Alley has congratulated the couple and gushed about the new dad: “Tom does everything 150 per cent, and fatherhood he does 300 per cent. They’re going to have a great kid.”
