Every day he battles evil spirits. Now an American exorcist is telling his story. Religion News Service introduces its readers to Fr. Gary Thomas, the official exorcist for the Diocese of San Jose. In March, Fr. Thomas wrote bishops and seminary rectors, urging them to train more exorcists. He included copies of the book The Rite: The Making of a Modern Exorcist by Matt Baglio. This work chronicles Fr. Thomas' three year journey from parish priest to “spiritual detective.” If you would rather wait to see the story on the big screen, RNS reports New Line Cinema has bought the rights to The Rite.
