In "The Minister's Black Veil," the pale-faced congregation symbolizes the sense of guilt and sin that the minister's veil brings to light. The reactions of the townspeople reflect their own hidden sins and the discomfort of confronting them. The contrast between the minister concealed behind the veil and the congregation's exposed faces highlights the themes of secret sin and judgment.

What happened to the Catholic Church as a result of Vatacin 2?

As a result of Vatican II: mass was said in the national language of that particular country, the priest faced the congregation rather than the same way as well as Ministers of the Eucharist, Word, etc. The congregation also said prayers aloud with the priest and said responses instead of saying their own, individual prayers silently. As a result of Vatican II catholics took a more tolerative view towards other religions & did more for charity.
