Re: "The more the Church cow tows to personal prelatures..."of which there is only one...Opus Dei.  It is NOT the "personal prelature" that is the problem.  The problem is that the Church has encouraged and continues to allow the Second Vatican Council to be suppressed within the strict politico-religious confines of "Evangelical Catholicism".  (See George Weigel's book by that title.)  

Re: "the simplicity of Christ's gospel messages"...All well and good, but Catholicism needs structure...theology, governance, liturgy.   The Second Vatican Council was moving Church structure in the direction of which you speak...until its shutdown under the very parties who had Escriva canonized.

Pope Francis is doing all he can to bring Vatican II back into the forefront of Catholicism.  However, without a Vatican II Prelature or Ordinariate, leading perhaps to its own Catholic Rite/Church in union with Rome...Evangelical Catholicism will continue to rule the Church.
