So, you would throw the baby out with the bath water.
I do not know the Archbishop in Atlanta you speak of, but if Catholic, Pope Francis will in all likelihood remove him like he did the bishop of Limburg.
The Bakers were televangisist, and their own "church".

Now the comment re the Vatican. The Vatican buildings are museums also of ancient art that artists in the middle ages created for The Church as a gift to God of their time and talent.

The beautiful Churches are designed and built to bring the Faithful closer to God.

To those who believe no explanation is necessary, to those who disbelieve, no answer will suffice.
