“Detroit is not their typical market,” noted
Steven Mango, a former member of Scientology Celebrity Center in Hollywood. “But

Another source said: “If the church is looking to lure Katie back, you can be sure Tom is involved.
Tom is masterminding the whole thing from conception to plans to construction. He signed off on the plans to build the super center in Detroit — the church never would’ve done it without his approval.

“He’s No. 2 in the church," the source continued. "He has the authority and they’ll bend over backwards to accommodate him.” As The ENQUIRER reported,
Katie fled Scientology in 2012 and blindsided Tom with divorce papers after a five-and-half-year marriage. She won custody of Suri, now 12.

But The ENQUIRER can reveal Tom still harbors “deep feelings” for Katie, with a spy claiming he’s said: “I’ve never fallen out of love with her.” According to the source: “Opening the super center in Detroit is his way of luring Katie and Suri back to Scientology. “He’s got to be lonely and perhaps feels Katie’s the one who understood him best.”

Katie, whose rep said she and Tom “do not have open dialogue,” has rejoined the Catholic church and shown no interest in returning to either Tom or Scientology. Still, Jack Sushko, HCO executive secretary of The Church of Scientology in Farmington Hills, Mich., told the The ENQUIRER she'd be welcome.

“The door is always open," said Sushko. "It would be great to see her back.” But Katie would need to have the “SP” order canceled. To do that she’d have to complete the “Steps A-E” program.

“The program requires the person to stop criticizing Scientology, make a public announcement recanting their previous criticism, pay all their outstanding financial debts and retrain from the bottom-up at their own expense,” Mango said. Katie’s return would also
allow Tom to groom Suri for Scientology!

“If
Suri was a public figure for Scientology, it would be a huge win for the group,” added Mango. “If she wasn’t, it would be a huge public-relations flap. The church will not allow this to happen. Suri must be on course and engaging in Scientology.”
