There is no implication.  By "institutional Church", I mean the institution.  
I think that many of the hierarchs are mired is what you refer to as a "swamp", but one of greed and power.  That, unfortunately, often leads to evil.  
For the clergy so mired, I believe that, at some point, it does become willing.
Some lay people, depending on their life circumstances may be just as "mired" in greed and arrogance.  However, the power in the Church rests solely in the hands of the hierarchs.   Lay people don't set themselves as the guides and teachers of the Truth.  The clergy do; thus, they ought to be held to a higher standard.
