Their current structure and election is designed after the office of Medieval lord or duke (your Excellency, your Grace, Monsignior litterally means My Lord).  Removing such titles would be good. Going back to priestly and election, with votes by lay elected deacons as well would fix the rot.  Parishes need to be non-profits rather than the property of the bishop, either held in trust or directly. This would end the pay-offs.  Laity in control is a good thing, as long it does not give prefernece to the rich laity.

It shall not be this way among you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant...(Matt 25-26)
