1374 The mode of Christ's presence under the Eucharistic species is unique. It raises the Eucharist above all the sacraments as "the perfection of the spiritual life and the end to which all the sacraments tend." (St. Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologiae III, 73, 3c) In the most Blessed Sacrament of the Eucharist "the body and blood, together with the soul and divinity, of our Lord Jesus Christ and, therefore, the whole Christ is truly, really, and substantially contained." (Council of Trent (1551): Denzinger-Schonmetzer, Enchiridion Symbolorum, definitionum et declarationum de rebus fidei et morum (1965) This presence is call 'real' - by which is not intended to exclude the other types of presence as if they could not be 'real' too, but because it is presence in the fullest sense: that is to say, it is a substantial presence by which Christ, God and man, makes himself wholly and entirely present." (Paul VI, Mysterium fidei 39)

Did J.R.R. Tolkien believe magic and religion were compatible?
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.
