∙ 13y agoThe 19th ecumenical council held at Trent in the Austrian Tyrol, 1545-63, summoned for the purpose of combating Protestantism and reforming the discipline of the church; the longest and one of the most important of all general councils. It dealt in detail with the doctrinal innovations of the Reformers and with those gross abuses which gave them an opportunity to take root. It was one of the most important events of modern history and has had lasting effect. The principal dogmatic decisions were: the confirmation of the Nicene creed; the authenticity of the Latin Vulgate and the canonicity of all books contained therein and of them only; the definition of the doctrine of Original Sin; the precision of the doctrine of Justification, condemning justification by faith alone and imputation of grace; the condemnation of thirty errors about the sacraments; the definition of the real Presence and of Transubstantiation as its mode: the precision of the doctrine of the sacraments of Penance and Extreme Unction; the declaration that holy communion in both kinds was not necessary for lay-people and clerics not celebrating, Christ being received whole and entire under either species; the precision of doctrine concerning the Sacrifice of the Mass and the sacraments of holy Orders and Matrimony; the affirmation of the doctrines of Purgatory, of the invocation of saints and the veneration of them, their relics and images, and of Indulgences. Far-reaching decrees of reformation in discipline and morals were adopted involving many alterations of canon law, the decree Tametsi. One English bishop, Boldwell of St. Asaph, and three Irish, O'Hart of Achonry, MacCongail of Raphoe, and O'Herlihy of Ross, took part in the council; and Cardinal Pole, afterwards of Canterbury, was a presiding legate at the opening.

Where is Trent river located?
I have done some research on this and I THINK it has to do with the 19th ecumenical council of the Roman Catholic church. Held at Trent (in Tirol, Germany) during 1545-63 it was called "The Council of Trent" and was a protracted assessment of the issues raised by the Reformation. The Council was a key element in the Counter Revolution and efforts to meet the challenge of the Protestants. ok this is oswadtkpygf

What was NOT a recommendation of the Council of Trent?
The Council of Trent issued over 100 anathemas. An anathema (from the Bible) is "A formal curse by a pope or a council of the Church, excommunicating a person or denouncing a doctrine." Meaning, obviously, that anyone who held a view that was anathema was outside the possibility of salvation. Here are some examples: . ~The Council of Trent - Session 6~ CANON I.-If any one saith, that man may be justified before God by his own works, whether done through the teaching of human nature, or that of the law, without the grace of God through Jesus Christ; let him be anathema. -If any one saith, that man is truly absolved from his sins and justified, because that he assuredly believed himself absolved and justified; or, that no one is truly justified but he who believes himself justified; and that, by this faith alone, absolution and justification... . ~The Council of Trent - Session 7~ CANON I.-If any one saith, that the baptism of John had the same force as the baptism of Christ; let him be anathema. -If any one saith, that in the Roman church, which is the mother and mistress of all churches, there is not the true doctrine concerning the sacrament of baptism; let him be anathema. CANON V.-If any one saith, that baptism is free, that is, not necessary unto salvation; let him be anathema. . ~The Council of Trent - Session 14~ But the Lord then principally instituted the sacrament of penance, when, being raised from the dead, He breathed upon His disciples, saying Receive ye the Holy Ghost, whose sins you shall forgive, they are forgiven them, and whose sins you shall retain, they are retained. CANON I.--If any one saith, that in the Catholic Church Penance is not truly and properly a sacrament, instituted by Christ our Lord for reconciling the faithful unto God, as often as they fall into sin after baptism; let ... . ~The Council of Trent - Session 24~ And if the church be itself the metropolitan, or exempted, and the Chapter shall be, as has been said above, negligent, then shall the oldest of the suffragan bishops in that metropolitan church, and the nearest bishop in regard of that church that is exempted, have power to appoint a competent steward and vicar. Upon a Parish Church becoming vacant, a Vicar is to be deputed thereunto by the Bishop, until it be provided with a Parish Priest: in what manner and by whom those nominated to ... . ~The Council of Trent - Session 22~ And whereas it beseemeth, that holy things be administered in a holy manner, and of all holy things this sacrifice is the most holy; to the end that it might be worthily and reverently offered and received, the Catholic Church instituted, many years ago, the sacred Canon, so pure from every error, that nothing is contained therein which does not in the highest degree savour of a certain holiness and piety, and raise up unto God the minds of those that offer. --If any one saith, that, by the ... . ~The Council of Trent - Session 13~ On the real presence of our Lord Jesus Christ in the most holy sacrament of the Eucharist. In the first place, the holy Synod teaches, and openly and simply professes, that, in the august sacrament of the holy Eucharist, after the consecration of the bread and wine, our Lord Jesus Christ, true God and man, is truly, really, and substantially contained under the species of those sensible things. Wherefore, there is no room left for doubt, that all the faithful of Christ may, according to the... . . ~The Council of Trent - Session 25~ The sacred and holy Synod, in the second Session celebrated under our most holy lord, Pius IV. But that the most holy body of Christ be kept within the choir, or the enclosure of the convent, and not in the public church, the holy Synod forbids it; any privilege or indult whatsoever notwithstanding. The sacred and holy oecumenical Synod of Trent : let us confess the faith thereof; let us ever keep the decrees thereof. . ~The Council of Trent - Session 23~ Those who shall attempt to contract marriage otherwise than in the presence of the parish priest, or of some other priest by permission of the said parish priest, or of the Ordinary, and in the presence of two or three witnesses; the holy Synod renders such wholly incapable of thus contracting and declares such contracts invalid and null, as by the present decree It invalidates and annuls them. Finally, the holy Synod exhorts those who marry, that before they contract marriage, or, at all ... . ~The Council of Trent - Session 5~ For that which the apostle has said, By one man sin entered into the world, and by sin death, and so death passed upon all men in whom all have sinned, is not to be understood otherwise than as the Catholic Church spread everywhere hath always understood it. This concupiscence, which the apostle sometimes calls sin, the holy Synod declares that the Catholic Church has never understood it to be called sin, as being truly and properly sin in those born again, but because it is of sin, and ... . ~The Council of Trent - Session 21~ -if any one saith, that the holy Catholic Church was not induced, by just causes and reasons, to communicate, under the species of bread only, laymen, and also clerics when not consecrating; let him be be anathema. But if they should be all too poor, those churches shall be transferred to the Mother Churches, or to the neighbouring churches, with power to convert both the said parish churches and others that are in ruins, to profane, though not to sordid uses; a cross, however, being erected... . ~The Council of Trent - Session 4~ And it has thought it meet that a list of the sacred books be inserted in this decree, lest a doubt may arise in any one's mind, which are the books that are received by this Synod. Furthermore, in order to restrain petulant spirits, It decrees, that no one, relying on his own skill, shall,--in matters of faith, and of morals pertaining to the edification of Christian doctrine, --wresting the sacred Scripture to his own senses, presume to interpret the said sacred Scripture contrary to that ...
