Travolta 'questioning Scientology faith'

John Travolta is close to losing his faith in the Church Of Scientology, it has been claimed.

The Hollywood actor has been a loyal follower of the controversial religion for the past 34 years, but is believed to be rethinking his devotion following the death of his 16-year-old son Jett.

Jett, who allegedly suffered from autism and epilepsy, passed away during a family holiday in the Bahamas on January 2.

Scientology critic Rick Ross told the Daily Mail: "There have been strong rumours coming out of Scientology that John Travolta is disappointed that the religion was not able to help his son more. It's led him to question his faith."

He continued: "I think it would be very difficult for John Travolta at this stage, given his history with the religion, to extricate himself from the Church of Scientology. It would be a huge move on his part because Scientology keeps files on its celebrity members containing embarrassing personal information about them.

"And Scientology has proven in the past that it has a penchant for releasing that information to embarrass people who have left and who have said things it doesn't like. If celebrities leave, they tend to do it quietly and keep their mouths shut, because if they do speak out, they are opening themselves up to attack from Scientology.

"That's why I think Travolta will want to keep his problems with the Church private."

Denzel Washington recently announced that Travolta is still struggling with his grief.
