No, Tolkien was a Catholic. But he had no problem with fantasy magic in fictional stories, as that isn't real and the Catholic Church has no opposition to fictional stories.
Catholic Church doctrine clearly states that occult magic is "a lie of the Devil" and practicing it is a very serious sin. When they say occult magic is a "lie" they mean very clearly that it is NOT real and any observed effects and results are faked by either the Devil or his demons. This is what Tolkien believed.

How did magic spread?
Magic is a force that people have to believe in. Like religion, it is faith-based. Magic is very old, and it has always been spread by word-of-mouth. People tell other people and convince them of the power of the magic and they believe and tell other people. Magic does not work on people who do not believe that it has power, so it is not possible to cast a spell on someone who has not first been convinced that the spell will work. For this reason magic can only spread as fast as belief in that magic spreads. If belief fails, as has happened in modern cultures, then magic will fail too, and its spread is halted.
