Pope Francis, if God doesn’t do magic, then what is a miracle? Did Jesus not do magic either? Turning water into wine and making the blind see healing the sick and feeding thousands with a loaf of bread and a fish weren’t exactly done through the application of science.

Calling a ‘miracle’ magic sounds almost like scoffing.

It seems like if the truth were told, he is like the mainline Protestants who don’t believe in miracles or the supernatural, and for that matter, the existence of God Himself.

A magician is a created being who uses powers he doesn't understand to do things he doesn't fully understand either. Of course God is not a magician and miracles are miracles, not magic.
