The Gothic architecture did not change the church theology. Even though they had different architecture in this age it did not change the way they thought about the church. The word Gothic actually means rude or barbaric (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gothic_architecture). This is showing that it did not change the way that the people thought of the Chruch, they simply thought had a different design for their churches. Most of these churches are still around today. These churches were so well built that they could survive centuries of erosion. This shows that the people wanted to make sure that they would have a place to worship for a long time and show their ancestors how they would worship God.
