This is why... September 27, 2011, Jonny Jacobsen, Infinite Complacency

Scotland 's Sunday Herald published this article in November 2009, during one of the media's periodic flurries of interest in Scientology's activities.

The movement had just lost a very high-profile fraud case in Paris (it is up on appeal later this year). But it didn't hurt that there was also a celebrity angle: writer/director Paul Haggis had just defected from the movement, denouncing its homophobia and the practice of disconnection.

Although I posted a link to the article at the time, its online version at The Sunday Herald website was never properly formatted. So I'm posting it here in a more readable form, with a few minor edits.
