When I was in Havana, all the churches (that I saw) were surrounded
by chain link fence put up by the government. I did see one with a
gate - an opening, really - but there was a soldier or policeman
standing outside. I was told that people could go in and out, but
the uniformed man was watching.

In Viñales there was a church in the middle of town, open to all,
unguarded, and fully-functioning as a church. I also saw many, many
posters of the Pope.

In Havana, I spent a night in a former convent that had been turned
into a hotel. (I did the same in Melbourne a few years previously, so
let's not read too much into that.)

I have done that in San Juan. Several nights, actually.
