[edit] these things are not monolithic churches
OK, I did a check of the "other" churches and removed some per below.
- Church of the Rock (Felsenkirche) in Idar-Oberstein, Germany - a church built in a cliff crevice
- Abbey of Saint-Roman (L’abbaye de Saint-Roman) in Beaucaire, Gard, France - cave monastery per this link

[edit] Not Monolithic
Lalibela churches are not "monolithic" that term refers to the use of single large stones as those used at Stonehenge. Lalibela as an example of rock-cut architecture. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 18.90.2.208 (talk) 16:59, 12 December 2006 (UTC).
