I am afraid I cannot help you there, PD. I am an agnostic, so I never felt constrained when pursuing anything that attracted my attention.
I seem to recall the big Christian Church used to be fearful of having to compete with pagan rites, superstition and the like in the old days. I do not know what their official position is right now. Not overly accommodating, I should think.
But I use the Tarot as a tool, very useful when exploring our own motives, but more psychological and practical than spiritual, although many people use it to meditate and develop further through the archetypal images. However, they are still using it as a tool, as a means to something else.
I do not believe the Tarot has a mind of its own or can be regarded as anything approaching a spiritual guide by itself. Just a friendly aid, mostly
