Ever heard of Protestantism?  Been there done that.  They threw out the "Old model of Church" and see where they are at today?  Dying.

Tell me: if throwing out the "Old model of Church" works so well, why is mainstream Protestantism dying?  Why should Catholics adopt a model that continues to fail?

You know what churches are growing?  The ones that actually stand for something and believe in something. The ones that are growing do not take their cues from pop-culture.  The ones that are growing do not take their cues from Hollywood elites.  The ones that are growing are those who believe God's Word informs the community--rather than the community informing God's Word.
