Our Archbishop is either incompetent or criminal, probably both. I want to know who I report this to within the church before going public with it.

The Pope is the only Church authority of a bishop or archbishop. The Pope's address is:
His Holiness Benedict XVI
Apostolic Palace
00120 Vatican City State, EUROPE
His email address is: benedictxvi@vatican.va
You might want to try:
United States Conference of Catholic Bishops
3211 4th Street, N.E.
Washington DC 20017-1194
(202) 541-3000
If you have evidence of a crime then you need to contact the local police or the district attorney.
With love in Christ.

In the U.S. Roman Catholic Church there's a National Council of Bishops:
http://www.usccb.org/index.shtml
but they have no governing authority over each other.
Above the bishop in the Roman Catholic Church hierarchy is the Pope. In the U.S. the Pope has a representative called an Apostolic Nuncio (or some call him a Papal Nuncio). I'd suggest contacting him to start with. I poked around the Internet and it seems that's where complaints against R.C. Church hierarchy are filed:
Most Reverend Pietro Sambi
Apostolic Nuncio to the United States
3339 Massachusetts Ave., N.W.
Washington, DC 20008
My best to you!

2 above has the exact right answer.
Most Reverend Pietro Sambi
Apostolic Nuncio to the United States
3339 Massachusetts Ave., N.W.

Although, depending on the issue, you might also want to contact the Congregation on Rome that handles that issue (Such as the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith if the ArchBp. is teaching heresy.)

Do not bother... come to the only Church. The Church of which Christ is The Head. Not a mortal pope who can not even assure you of your salvation because he can not be certain of his own. If you become of The Church of Which Christ is The Head you will know with absolute certainty that your Salvation is assured.
the relationship of God to those of The Faith is one-on-one and personal. no man doctrin or dogma involved

Who's your archbishop? What diocese are you in? What does he do that makes him incompetent or a criminal?
I'm curious. Feel free to PM me.

If he is an Archbishop you should contact the Cardinal. I don't know what dioceses you're in or I'd let you know who it is.

the only person higher than an archbishop is the pope. you would have to contact the Vatican.

Stop being a blind catholic, and learn religion on your own. Urge others to do it too.
