LOS ANGELES - ACTRESS Katie Holmes will reportedly enroll her daughter, Suri Cruise, in a Catholic school after a fight with her husband Tom, who is a Scientologist.

According to entertainment media reports, Scientology has become a bone of contention between the couple. Cruise reportedly wanted Suri, 3, to be raised a Scientologist.

However, last week it was reported that Holmes enrolled the toddler in a Catholic early education centre in Boston. The family are currently in the city while Cruise films the spy comedy Wichita.

Suri's grandmother, Holmes' mother, flew to Boston to join the family for the 3-year-old's first week at preschool. "Katie has been listening to her parents who are devout Catholics," a source said.

"She has told Tom that she wants Suri to be educated as a Catholic, as she was. They had been having huge problems agreeing on her school. To say they were having arguments is putting it mildly, but Tom came around to the idea in the end."

Holmes, 30, has not been seen at the Church of Scientology for more than five months. But Cruise, who was raised Catholic before converting to Scientology in 1990, remains a follower reported The Courier-Mail newspaper.
