Thomas describes his ministry as one of healing. “I don’t do exorcisms on demand,” he said. “It’s dangerous, and it’s not always what people need.
“I have to get to the root cause of what they’re suffering from — it is preternatural or psychological,” he said.
“In every instance I am called into, there is deep suffering,” Thomas said. “In most instances, it is not demonic, it’s a mental health issue. But either way, our church has a responsibility to help these people.”
In the seven years he’s been an exorcist, Thomas has worked with a dozen cases of possession among about 125 inquiries.
He counts three of the individuals as “delivered.” He is still working with another three. The others started the process but did not finish.
“My message to people is that Satan is real, demonic possession is real -- it’s not superstition, not myth, not medieval,” he said. “But the church has remedies.”
Thomas had been a priest for 22 years when his bishop of the Diocese of San Jose, Calif., asked if he would learn about exorcism. Not every diocese is required to have a priest trained in exorcism.
Thomas went to Rome on a sabbatical to study spirituality and took a class on the topic. He went deeper, studying with an Italian exorcist. A classmate from his class asked if he would be willing to share his experiences for a book.
The story of his internship inspired the book “The Rite” (2009), which was made into a movie released in 2011 starring Anthony Hopkins, who played the veteran priest. One marked difference in the film is that Thomas’ character is shown as a seminarian rather than an established priest.
“I couldn’t have told you seven years ago that I was called to do this,” Thomas said. “But I do believe in the personification of evil. I’m not afraid, and I believe that is a grace.
“I don’t find the work appealing
, but in the same breath, I find it meaningful.”
Thomas used the $25,000 consulting fee from the film to start a fund to help those he sees when they need a referral for mental health or medical services and don’t have insurance.
Being an Exorcist is
REAL BUSINESS
Exorcism is the stuff of movies, but for the Rev. Gary Thomas, it is a Catholic rite. He is an exorcist, trained in the Vatican and Rome, and his story inspired a book and a 2011 film.

MESSED UP:
MAXIM MODEL KILLED BY
FEMALE "JAMES BOND"
The 21-year-old was strangled in 2008, but just-released court documents claim the attack was driven by a failed business deal between her father and an ex-boyfriend.
The ex is believed to be Lebanese physician and businessman Munir Uwaydah.
After her father pulled out of a pharmaceutical deal on doubts of Uwaydah’s legitimacy, the latter allegedly "dispatched" Kelly Soo Park to "confront" Julianna Redding.
Prosecutors allege that Park, officially his real estate broker and financial assistant, was nicknamed “James Bond,” and served as Uwaydah’s “debt collector.”
Reading between the lines, she often intimidated business partners of Uwaydah’s in at least two previous incidents involving her then-boyfriend, racecar driver Ronnie Case.
Juliana Redding, an aspiring model and actress who died years ago, may have been killed by a female debt collector nicknamed “James Bond" and hired as “muscle."
One incident involved intimidating a bank manager over an investment scheme, another a horse breeding business and $350,000 collection, CBS News reports.
Uwaydah has since fled the country and is believed to be living in Lebanon.
Another source says he allegedly only hired Park to “intimidate and threaten” Redding, not to murder her, while Park has been tied to the murder scene via “forensic evidence."

Julian Navarro proudly presents Power Ties a solo exhibition by Guerra de la Paz.
“POWER TIES is an exploration into the effectiveness of both symbolism and satire as methods of communicating the unmentionable, with the objective to create a visual language that depicts scenes where the ethics and morals of the influential are narrated by irony and righteousness.
Guided by historic relevance and society’s structure of power, the work depicts the height of civilization and the cause of its decline in a dialogue of rudimentary ideals conceptually embellished with a passementerie of controversy.

82 x 82 x 48 in.
Monday through Friday, 2005
Men’s ties wire and aluminum wall brackets
Size variable
Assertive yet gentile in its delivery, POWER TIES provides comedic relief to a subject that delves into the darkest depths of the preeminent topics of the status quo and engages the viewer with humorous portrayals of a treacherous, high stakes game where underhanded deception is splendiferously rewarded.
Personified by empty shells of clothing that appear to be void of human control and stylized to identify with the affluent and authoritative image of success, POWER TIES offers settings that illustrate the physically nonexistent nature of a ubiquitous dominion and its consequential stronghold on society in a story line characterized by neckties that represent unscrupulous misdeeds and the sacrifices one makes for personal gain”… Guerra de la Paz.
Guerra de la Paz is the composite name that represents the creative team efforts of Cuban born artists, Alain Guerra (Born: 1968 Havana, Cuba) and Neraldo de la Paz (Born: 1955 Matanzas, Cuba. Live and work in Miami, Florida) and have been consistently producing collaboratively since 1996.

Orlando police said Tom Murphy, the manager at Paddy Murphy's restaurant in Orlando, called police after Jeremie Calo, 32, and his date were seen having sex on their table out on the patio while other patrons, including children, were eating in the same area, WKMG-TV, Orlando, reported Wednesday.
Murphy said the couple stopped when he called police, but officers arrested Calo for fighting with the manager and refusing to pay his $101 bill.
The couple were not charged for the alleged public sex because none of the other restaurant patrons wanted to write statements for police.
Restaurant Sex? Really?
Police in Florida say they arrested a man accused of fighting with a restaurant manager after having sex with his date on a table in front of other patrons.

As though it were a slightly sour sweet.
