In Act 2 of "The Crucible," Reverend Hale criticizes John Proctor for not attending church regularly and for failing to baptize his third son. Hale believes that Proctor's reluctance to conform to religious practices undermines his credibility and moral standing in the community, especially as the witch trials intensify. This criticism highlights the tension between personal beliefs and societal expectations during the Salem witch trials.
