Many of these old Methodist congregations leave behind buildings more suitable for Catholic liturgy than some of the theater-shaped or circular buildings misguidedly built by Catholics in the last 50 years.  Often the WASPs were in these places long before Catholics, so in some towns the Protestants have good buildings--even if their tabernacles are empty--and the Catholics have shopping mall/airport terminal stuff ill suited to participatio actuosa and sacrifice of the Mass

 It is too bad there isn't a trust of some sort to buy them and hold them until a diocese or religious congregation (or association of the faithful) can purchase them for use as a chapel or as a replacement for a poorly done parish church.  They were built for Christian liturgical worship (however defective) and built to last.  It's a shame to see them put to worldly use.
