The Council of Trent did indeed reiterate all the books of the Bible against the heretics like Luther, Calvin, et al. who were throwing the books out that they didn't like. But The Bible had been defined previously by Pope Damasus I (366-384) and the Council of Rome (382).

No, the Council of Trent did not create the New Testament. The New Testament was compiled in the first centuries of the Christian Church, with final agreement on its contents reached in the 4th century. The Council of Trent (16th century) reaffirmed the traditional canon of the New Testament but did not create it.

How does the New Testament relate to the Catholic religion?
.Catholic AnswerThe New Testament is the fulfillment of the Old Covenant contained in the Old Testament. It was written by members of the Catholic Church during the first hundred and twenty years, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, after Our Blessed Lord ascended into heaven. The New Testament as we have it today was approved by the Council of Rome in the late fourth century, the Council of Trent repeated the Decrees of Rome 1,100 years later. The New Testament, thus, is the Catholic religion's ancient preaching of the Gospel, it is the words of God, in God's own Words. The Church teaches that the Bible is inerrant, and to be venerated as we venerate the Body of Our Blessed Lord. So your question is backward, it should be, "How did the Catholic religion write, approve, and preserve the New Testament for 2,000 years??

They were all guided by the Holy Spirit and approved by Rome so that their decisions are binding on all of Christ's Church. Each and everyone of them was called to deal with various heresies. Many of their decisions involved the first time a doctrine was actually "defined" for the simple reason that it was the first time it had seriously been called into question. There was no new church after Trent, just as there was no new church after Nicaea. Despite other opinions to the contrary, the Church of Rome was established by Christ and remained faithful to Him throughout the centuries. There is no "church of Trent".

The Catholic practice of what began during the Middle Ages?
Celibacy? it was formally nailed down during the Council of Trent, which solidified a variety of church practices and was talked about by catechists as though it was something current- like the UN or Watergate (then brand new) not something historical such as Gettyburg address or an obsolete treaty. They used to say- The Council of Trent decrees... present tense! the Council of Trent took place in Italy ( not England) in Elizabethan days! OK, Shakespeare survives too, but that"s literature, not religious doctrine.
