“A bad self-esteem has been inculcated into too many people”.----------------

Absolutely spot on.
How do you change the present Church model that only works upwards, into a culture of discipleship based on equality?
To bring about change we need to look at ourselves honestly, this can be painful but if we do so it will create spiritual growth, leading us all to the true base of the pyramid a place of humility. If we do not do this, new structures that are been proposed that incorporate married priest female priest etc will not stem the flow of people leaving the Church or attract new converts as it will continue especially in West to dissipate.
also
 from this base, one of humility, new leaders (Teachers) male and female would emerge to take their rightful place within the church.
