Leah Remini is best known for her role as Carrie Heffernan the wife of Doug Herrernan played by Kevin James. Although Remini was baptized Catholic, she was raised in the religion of Scientology by her mother since the age of eight. Prior to becoming an apostate, Leah was a dedicated member and as a teenager even spent a year in the Scientology’s elite Sea Org headquarters in Clearwater, Florida where she performed manual labor.
In a 2015 interview with People magazine, Remini said she is finding comfort in Catholicism and that her exploration of Catholicism is a return to her roots. We are praying for her reversion to the one true faith.
Although Scientology church officials have denied it, Remini claims she was instructed to try and convert Kevin James to Scientology. Converting people we know to follow a belief system we feel is truthful or helpful is not surprising. Leah said, “They always tried to get me to, asking; ‘Why is he not in? Why have you not promoted it to him?’ I was like, ‘Because he’s Catholic. He doesn’t want anything to do with it,'” What is so hard to understand, he is happy”.
James is a devout Catholic and has been in the public eye, first with “The King of Queens” and a series of comedies including “Hitch,” “Paul Blart: Mall Cop,” “Zookeeper” and “Grown-Ups”.

Leah defected from Scientology in 2013. Since then she has made it her mission to expose the alleged abuses (both physical and psychological) and harassment perpetrated by the cult-like religion’s leadership—including its chief David Miscavige and his best pal Tom Cruise. Her primary platform is Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath, an Emmy-winning A&E docuseries that brings the horror stories of ex-Scientologists to light.
