Actually, it didn't. The Catholic reform, from what I have read, was already started and Fr. Martin Luther was part of it until he lost his mind. The more obvious part - the Council of Trent, was definitely brought together in part to deal with the protestant revolt.
The Catholic Counter-Reformation was in response to the Protestant Reformation. Its goal was to reform the Catholic Church from within.
The catholic reformation created a few different things. The main things that the catholic reformation created new religious orders and reform the catholic church to rejoin.
No, the Protestant Reformation is better titled the Protestant Revolt. The Catholic Reformation was just that, a reform of the abuses occurring at the time within the Church.
The period after the Reformation is known as the Counter-Reformation or Catholic Reformation. It was a time when the Catholic Church responded to the Protestant Reformation and made efforts to reform itself while also opposing Protestant beliefs.
The Reformation, led by Martin Luther and others, sought to reform the Catholic Church and ultimately led to the formation of Protestant denominations. The Counter-Reformation was the Catholic Church's response to the Reformation, focusing on reforming itself, reaffirming Catholic doctrine, and combating the spread of Protestantism.
The Reformation led to the division of Christianity into Catholic and Protestant faiths.
The Catholic Reform was more than enough in the "Reformation era", it just wasn't "enough" for the protestants, as the Catholic Church is incapable of being anything other than the Catholic Church. As the Catholic Church is the Body of Christ and guaranteed by Him, and guided by the Holy Spirit, it is always enough.
The Catholic Reformation.
Catholics refer to Luther's "reformation" as the protestant revolt. The Catholic Church reiterated and defined its teaching at the Council of Trent. The Counter-Reformation was led by scholars, and the Catholic Reform by Catholics.
A:Martin Luther initially sought to work within the Catholic Church to reform the use of indulgences. The Catholic Church refused to countenance any change, as a result of which Luther started the Protestant Reformation. Ironically, his reforms eventually did lead to change within the Catholic Church, in the form of the Catholic Reformation.
Catholic reform began as a response to the challenges posed by the Protestant Reformation, focusing on addressing corruption within the Church and reaffirming Catholic doctrine. Over time, this reform movement evolved into the Catholic Reformation, characterized by a more organized effort to revitalize the Church through the Council of Trent (1545-1563), which clarified Catholic teachings, reformed clerical practices, and emphasized the importance of sacraments. This transformation reflected a proactive stance by the Catholic Church to reclaim its influence and engage with modernity, ultimately leading to a renewed spiritual vigor and the establishment of new religious orders.
Actually the Jesuits fought AGAINST the Reformation. That's what they are most famous for.
