IMO, we are past the point of contacting diocesan headquarters to lodge protests. That assumes a fact not in evidence: that they care what we think. Orange County is a classic example. The problem is far more serious than out of touch clerics.
There is a plethora of wolves masquerading as shepherds with one goal in mind: the destruction of Catholicism as it has existed for centuries. They have the funds to build modern monstrosities yet find it necessary to sell off beautiful, fully Catholic Churches because of alleged financial shortages. Once these Churches are gone the next generations will have no knowledge of anything but an hollow, spiritually empty auditorium in the round.
The only way Catholics can battle the wolves is to buy the Churches as they are sold off. Instead of giving money to the dioceses, the faithful in each diocese should pool their money to purchase the Catholic buildings up for sale. There may not now be priests to staff them, but someday there will be.

I should add, the purchase of those buildings should be done through intermediaries. If the wolves discover the intent they won't sell the building to a Catholic.
