Did Gothic architecture reflect a change in Church theology?

The Gothic style of architecture showed the change in the Church's theology. Before Gothic, Romanesque architecture was a prevalent style in Church buildings. The Romanesque style showcased Judgment Day, Hell, and the darker side of the religion. Gothic architecture was more about hope and light and the brighter side of Catholicism. The new style showed that the Church changed its way of belief from a sadder and darker way of thinking, to a more pleasant and enjoyable way of thinking.
