Limits on church property ownership

So if we have a University (call it Notre Dame) and it has a chapel, as
large as many cathedrals, it does not fall under the 15 acre limit?

I would expect most large churches to have schools, day care, or other
non-church activities attached. Is only the land for the church counted?

There are mechanical problems calculating the land use where the church has
a school.

State: "There are 45 parking spaces for church use that are not for school
use and that puts you over the limit."

Church: "Those 45 spaces are used for back to school night, graduation, and
dodge ball. They are part of the school, not the church."
