Tom Cruise: A Sect Symbol

Tom Cruise chose Paris as the setting for his proposal to Katie Holmes, but France doesn't return his affection. The French have decided to not make Tom Cruise an honorary citizen because of his affiliation with Scientology, consider a cult by many French authorities. Paris officials vowed "never to welcome actor Tom Cruise, a spokesman for Scientology and self-declared militant for this organization." One official called the actor a "sect symbol."
