Pages no longer opening, cause unknown.
Several months ago I finally updated my old iMac to Catalina. I'm now running 10.15.7. This broke a lot of things that I finally fixed, it was a huge headache, and I am still dealing with apps that no longer work, including my password manager. I'm not willing to update further, as it will break more things that are 100% necessary for my job and make my computer even slower than it already is.
But Pages was not something that was a problem since the update. I used the Pages application as recently as Feb 18/19 with no problems, both creating new documents, and opening downloaded word documents from work.
I tried to open several different documents today, both native pages ones that I'm working on, and the downloaded .docx ones, and get this error every time:
The application "Pages" can't be opened.

I downloaded Libre Office so I can actually open my documents, but what the heck happened? AFAIK there was nothing done on my end to cause this. Is there any way to fix it, or should I just delete pages altogether? I don't care what program I use, I just need it to work, and not hit me with an issue suddenly when I'm trying to get work done.
