Is it just me, or does the Church seem a bit weird of late?

Well ...

The Church (The called-out ones) is not what the World, Media, and culture are Labeling it as.

Defn: The word “church” comes from the Greek word ekklesia which is defined as “an assembly” or “called-out ones.” The root meaning of “church” is not that of a building, but of people.

The version of “Church” you are referring to is indeed weird.

It is not the Biblical Church that is weird. It is a human construct, that has been called the Church.

You understand an important distinction.
