Not just Catholics, but almost every major denomination has their own schools. 10’s of thousands of them.
There are ways around that. Most schools are listed as separate corporations. A parish could drop the 503C status (in theory) while the school keeps it. Schools don’t perform marriages, and the religious clause has been held up in court for them.
I’m disabled and can’t sit long, wear twin hearing aids that are not that adjustable. I’d not miss church at all. I can put on music I like and listen to it and read my Bible and be quiet happy.
My late husband played keyboard for our small church, he, the preacher and 1 guitar rhythm, preacher’s wife played the piano all sang. They transformed every song into more modern tempos. And that little church grew. For your enjoyment. When the music is right the Holy Spirit falls. That is another issue with churches today, they don’t think the Holy Spirit still falls nor can people still be blessed with speaking in tongues. They give Him lip service. He to has to be invited into your heart, just as Christ has to be.
