Actually, this is (from the Catholic perspective) quite a dangerous
course also, in that it denies miracles, and the Christian (and so
Catholic, and, I presume, Wolfe's) faith is _based_ on miracles,
from the Virgin Birth to the Resurrection, not to exclude (at least
for Catholics) ongoing miracles such as the limited infallibility of
Popes and the transubstantiation of the Host in the Eucharist.
