CAN TOM SAVE SCIENTOLOGY?

The church is in crisis as more Hollywood stars turn their back on the controversial religion

Tom Cruise is being urged to end his extended stay in the United Kingdom on his latest Mission: Impossible movie set and return to American soil to wage his biggest battle ever – saving Scientology.

Insiders within the Florida-based church say its leader David Miscavige has pleaded with Tom to come home and help him on “the most aggressive recruiting drive yet” after a swathe of A-list followers either defected or became “unmarketable” in recent years.

“David has built Scientology into the glitzy organization it is today thanks to his celeb followers – Tom being the biggest name of all,” says a source. “But lately, the stars have been dropping like flies.”
