You left something out:

“God is not a divine being or a magician, but the Creator who brought everything to life,” the pope said.

If He isn’t divine, then the Pope needs to find a new profession.

It’s a mistranslation and not true. That’s why I left it out.

Francis did NOT say

“God is not a divine being or a magician, but the Creator who brought everything to life”

he said

“God is not a demiurge or a magician, but the Creator who gives being to all entities”

His speech can be found here:

The term “demiurge” is used by Gnostics and refers to an “artisan-like figure responsible for the fashioning and MAINTENANCE of the physical universe”

Francis did NOT say that God is not a devine being
