Archbishop Fulton Sheen prophesied that one day the laity would be God's chosen instrument that He would use to save His Catholic Church. As the crisis was well underway in the Church, Abp. Sheen heralded the ever-increasing role of the laity in 1972:

Who is going to save our Church? Not our bishops, not our priests and religious. It is up to you, the people. You have the minds, the eyes, the ears to save the Church. Your mission is to see that your priests act like priests, your bishops, like bishops, and your religious act like religious.

Unfortunately as lay people that’s really all we can do.
Send them strongly worded letters.
