The Curia officials were squirming when Vatican II produced these words in article 9:

The fathers of this sacred council desire that (the Curia)  departments ....be reorganized and better adapted to the needs of the times, regions, and rites especially as regards their number, name, competence and peculiar method of' procedure, as well as the coordination of work among them. The fathers also desire that, in view of the very nature of the pastoral office proper to the bishops, the office of legates of the Roman pontiff be more precisely determined.

Reform of the Curia was and is at the heart of reform of the Church.
Vatican II tried....and failed.
Pope Benedict XVI hoped to ....and failed

Jesus, may  Pope Francis give most responsibilities to National Bishops' Conferences...so that the Curia can fade away
