Because I never got round to implementing the church, is the short answer! I'm hoping to spend some time doing an updated version sometime that will include the church, a bit more fenland, and some more character storylines, but there hasn't been enormous interest over the last year or so time has ended up being spent on being unwell and finishing my PhD - hopefully this winter I'll get to it though :)
I am a huge history nerd, and I love social history. I would cool down to see the different feast day church years. Attend Vesper in the evening on Saturday and Mass on Sunday. It would be something that cannot be skipped; otherwise, there could be massive social penalties.
It was going to have at least part of that regularity, exactly: probably slightly simplified rather than having a lot of the feast days etc (which would then mean I'd have to think about a year-tracking time system) to a system where on Sunday you were expected to attend there rather than work, and that this would also be a key moment for getting certain bits of information or advancing certain bits of the plot, because it's also the one location that all the NPCs also have to be at.
I am still hoping to get the time to do it at some point, anyhow! I've just had it confirmed that I'm defending the doctorate in late October so I'm hoping this will be a winter for getting creative stuff done.

I love the game. But why can I never go to church?

What was the plan for the church?

I would truly love to see it!!!
