No. The third commandment (of the Ten Commandments) is:
Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor, and do all your work; but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God; in it you shall not do any work, you, or your son, or your daughter, your manservant, or your maidservant, or your cattle, or the sojourner who is within your gates; for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day; therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.
And there are Five Commandments of the Church of which the first is:
You shall attend Mass on Sundays and on holy days of obligation and rest from servile labor.

Conformity or peer pressure is always a reason to attend regularly scheduled community meetings religious and otherwise. In the case of churches the members of the community will often stop people who miss a service to quiz them on the reasons for their absence.

Yes, Spain probably was. Spain was a very Catholic country, and when Henry VIII declared himself Head of the Church of England just to annul his marriage with Catherine of Aragon, all the Catholics were angry. Why? Because Catholics believed only the Pope could be head of the church, and Henry VIII changed everything. English Catholics were also angry, and stopped going to Henry's churches, secretly worshipping as Catholics. That was probably part of the reason Spain attacked England when Queen Elizabeth I was reigning, but she defeated the powerful Spanish Armada.
The days do not matter, it's just that Sunday is considered a holy day. Catholics may fulfill their Sunday obligation by assisting at Mass on Saturday evening.
The Catholic Church is a world-wide institution that has been around for 2,000 years. To get an answer to your question, you are going to have to be a whole lot more specific, like a year and a local, for instance, "What bothered many Catholics in England in the 16th century about the Church?" - putting in your own date, and your own locale.

It depends on the church you go to. Some churches have food drives and give away school supplies to needy children. But, going to a church just for the services is for the wrong reason. If your going to church, go for the right reasons.
Roman Catholic AnswerThe Churches that are separated from us, the Orthodox, the Old Catholics, the Polish National Catholics, all share in the priesthood of Our Blessed Lord, they have a valid apostolic succession through their bishops, and they share a common faith with us. The Orthodox, in particular, share everything up through the tenth century when they left. The Old Catholics schism and Polish National Catholics schismed after Vatican Council I; and now it looks as if the Society of St. Pius X is going to going their ranks. The protestants, lacking a valid priesthood and sacraments may not be called Churches for that reason, and so are termed "ecclesial communities" by the Second Vatican Council.
