Call it another victory for Katie Holmes ... Suri Cruise will start school in September at Manhattan's Convent of the Sacred Heart, a fancy-shmancy private all-girls school in New York City, E! News reports.

At the $38,000-a-year school, the previously home-schooled Suri will attend Catholic mass every Thursday. Past graduates of the elite school include Lady Gaga, Nicky Hilton and Caroline Kennedy.

Clearly, mama Katie Holmes, who reportedly got primary custody of the 6-year-old in the divorce, is calling the shots here. Papa Tom Cruise's religion, Scientology, seems to be completely off the menu. Holmes was raised Catholic, and so, in fact, was Cruise. Do you think the school is a good choice for Suri Cruise?

    Scientology is a cult, not a religion...

    So yes, Catholicism is definitely better. Better still, Catholicism (and I'm agnostic, raised Protestant) is a Christian faith which actually recognizes science (i.e. they accept evolution as factual science).

    As much as the sex scandals make me gag to say it.

    But what's up with the front page of Sodahead? The question there read "Is Catholicism Better Than Sociology?" Which is a much, much different question.

    And an even more bizarre one too.

    i've been in catholic schools since I was 3 years old, even though i'm atheist (probably because of school). nevertheless, I find that such schools not only teach subjects effectively, but also interpersonal values, meaning that students know more and act better

    LOL. I kind of scanned the question and thought Sodahead Celebs was asking "Is Catholicism better than Sociology." I was going to respond with a definite no to that one, but I think just about anything is better than Scientology. Catholic schools provide a very good education and they are not at all as dogmatic as some people seem to think. Catholic school: much, much better than Scientology, IMHO.

    And really, I don't know much about this business, Katie Holmes and Suri and all that but a lot of people send their kids to Catholic schools without having their children "indoctrinated" into Catholicism. Going to a Catholic school is separate and apart and something entirely different than "Catholicism," whatever that term means to you, "Sodahead Celebs," whoever you are.

    A voluntary relationship/submission to our Creator/Sustainer Allah in His Oneness with obedience (of His commands-Qur'an and teaching of Prophet Muhammad PBUH), and denouncing polytheism and its adherents to gain a peaceful/successful life in this world and Hereafter gain Paradise as well as protection from Hell-fire.

    None has the right to be worshipped but Allah, Muhammed is the Messenger of Allah

    Nothing else is worthy of worship; not stones, statues, crosses, tombs, the sun, the moon, stars, movie stars, musician, athletes, Prophets (from any religion), saints, priests, temples, animals, religious scholars or any creature. If worship anything other than Allah-almighty, is the only sin that would never be forgiven on the Day of Judgment! If you do not study this truth, adopt it and publish it in front of your people, you would be responsible for your people and yourself hereafter on the Day of Judgment.

    No Terrorism in Islam:

    "There is no compulsion in religion (Islam). Verily, the right path (Islam-Monotheism) has become distinct from the wrong path (Polytheism), whoever disbelieves in "Taguth" (all false Gods) and believes in Allah (only God), and then he has grasped the most trustworthy-handhold that will never break. And Allah is All-Hearer, All-Knower" (Qur'an 2:256). The only times in which Islamic believers are allowed to take up arms are when they are defending their own lives and the lives of their people. When they See the weak being oppressed in acts of tyranny, and when they are prohibited from practicing their religion. Aside from these circumstances, there is no legitimate fighting in Islam.

    Well, not really, there should be a "Neither - let her go to public school where they teach reality" option. But I picked Scientology because I don't want to join all these people who somehow think "Catholicism is better". Debating about which religion is "better" than the other is like two lunatics arguing over whose imaginary friend is cooler. A pox on both (and all religious) houses!

    Soda Head management intentionally rigged the poll so that it would fall in favor of Catholicism. They obviously didn't want Atheists to have a voice and they also knew the majority of folks on SH were probably Catholic or Christian - and that the Scientologists were very, very few in number. Think about it - by providing only those 2 options - they were making Atheists choose in favor of Catholicism! I think whoever created this poll was doing this intentionally. I think that is highly offensive and unethical for SH Management to have created a poll so tainted.

    The other point is that to my knowledge - there are no schools that teach the Scientology religion to 6 year olds. There are schools that teach academics using the study methods that Hubbard came up with - but that has absolutely nothing to do with the religion. Therefore, the entire basis of the poll is a fallacy.

    Right - that's why I chose Scientology, to strike back at the prevailing view. For me as an atheist, I have no reason to choose Catholicism over Scientology, so I don't think they were "making" atheists choose Catholicism, unless those atheists automatically buy into whatever they hear about Scientology in the media.

    Where is the "neither" option? I find this question HIGHLY offensive, you can't say that one religion is 'better' than another, that's completely ridiculous. Everyone is entitled to their own beliefs, just because Scientology is a marginalized, minority religion that doesn't mean you have any right to compare it to another religion. You wouldn't ask "Which is better, Christianity or Atheism?" would you? No, because it's offensive, so don't do the same thing here.

    And the fact that they intentionally rigged the poll with only 2 responses, knowing there were a majority of Catholics/Christians on Sodahead and very few Scientologists.

    In addition, to my knowledge there are no schools that teach the Scientology religion. There are some private schools that teach the 'study methods' by Hubbard, but that has nothing at all to do with religion.

    Thank you for having the guts to come forward and call this poll what it is - offensive. animated applause

    Scientology: cult based on repacketted atrocious sci-fi, which charges lots of expenses to join, despised in Europe (but glamourised in US by several Hollyweird prominente like Cruise, Travolta and Priscilla Presley) where it has filed lots of unsuccessful lawsuits

    Catholicism: known for lots of good works (hospitals, charity missions, schools--none of which Ron Hubbard's empire-cult has ever done) not known for filing lawsuits except as last-resort.

    Catholicism is better than scientology, as much as Mt. Logan is higher than Milwaukee Deep (absolute bottom of Atlantic)!
