Well, Mary, I'm sure many Catholic priests worth their salt would tell you to check out the Unitarians if you're unhappy as a Catholic. You'd find a lot of former Catholics there. You also might find a place that would welcome your singing of your wonderful songs.
Modern pagan groups also have much to offer.

I've spent time with both pagans and Unitarians, and I've enjoyed both.
I think God will be happier if you find a religion where you're happy. Life is too short to spend it bogged down in surroundings you hate.

Yes, I'm very happy as a Catholic, but I choose Catholic communities that I think are healthy and where I can feel comfortable. And people will tell you that I was instrumental in fixing a couple of parishes that were not very healthy at one time. One is where I got married, and one is where I am now - and I love both of those congregations.
