Katie Holmes Finds Autonomy, Religion (Again)

Has the time finally come when Katie Holmes will break out of her gold-plated shackles like the Hulk busting out of his purple dungarees and scream, "I love Jesus, dammit, and I don't care who knows it!"? MSNBC seems to think so:

Is Katie Holmes breaking free of her hubby’s Cruise control?

The wife of the “Top Gun” star is shooting a film, “Mad Money,” in Louisiana, and while she’s away from her reportedly controlling spouse she’s “quietly reclaiming parts of her past,” according to Life & Style.

The mag reports that Holmes is reconnecting with family and friends and even secretly talking to Catholic priests. Holmes was raised a Catholic, but since her marriage, has embraced Scientology, her husband’s religion.

The “Batman Returns” star recently called a childhood pal named Meghann Birie, whom she hadn’t seen since meeting Cruise two years ago, reports L&S.

“She wanted to talk to someone not in Camp Cruise,” a friend told the mag. “Katie told Meghann she can’t believe she abandoned her old life.”

The actress hasn’t been to church lately, but is “secretly talking to pastors” for advice, and wants to enroll Suri in “kiddie Catholicism” classes, according to L&S.

What’s more, Holmes also plans to visit her hometown of Toledo, Ohio, this summer and has invited her parents to the “Mad Money” set.

“She’s trying to make amends with her family,” according to a Holmes family friend.

Just wait till Suri hears about this. She's gonna be pissed. We can see it now: Tom gently cradles baby Suri as he flings open the doors of a local Catholic church to reveal a shocked and frightened Katie sitting in the first pew discussing her favorite psalm with the priest. Then, miraculously, Suri utters not only her first word, but her first complete sentence, as she complains to Mom, "Ah, hell no. I did not go through nine months of intense inter-uterine auditing sessions just so you could pull this shit."
