What is the effect of the priest's stand on Tenorio and the townspeople?

I'm assuming you mean in Chapter 13, where the Priest at
El Puerto tells Tenorio that one of his daughters who has died cannot be given a
Christian burial and a funeral mass.  The Priest believed, as did many in the town, that
Tenorio's daughters were evil, even brujas, witches, themselves,
and he did not want to bring such a woman into his church for Holy
Mass.

Of course Tenorio is infuriated, but rather than take
it out on the Priest, he decides to take revenge on Ultima, who's curse he believes
killed two of his daughters.  The only effect of the priest's actions on the townspeople
that I can think of would be that his refusal to bury Tenorio's daughter in the Catholic
tradition left Tenorio with less support from the overwhelmingly Catholic population of
the town, and less support for going after Ultima.
