It always does. 100% of what is wrong with the church today is novelty introduced with various efforts to "fix" something or other over the years.

We, as men of one particular place and time, do not have anywhere near the skill, experience, knowledge, sanctification, etc. to improve on what has been passed down to us by our betters. Furthermore, the very fathers of church: the apostles who touched Christ's earthly body and sat under his own teaching--all of it, not just what got written down--warn and entreat us in their epistles to "hold fast," "don't forsake," etc. Over and over.

So choose a denomination or tradition that suits you (I suggest choosing based on ethnicity), go find the most serious, unspoiled, striving congregation within that tradition--the one fighting hardest against modernity--and submit yourself to that rule of life energetically.
