Which aspect of baroque art was best employed by the Counter-Reformation of the Catholic Church?

It's just the Catholic Church, not the Roman Catholic Church. Roman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is rarely used by the Catholic Church. Baroque is an "ornate form of ecclesiastical art and architecture that begin in Italy in the seventeenth century and spread throughout the Continent. Its purpose was to infuse new life into the cold style of the later Renaissance. from Modern Catholic Dictionary by Fr. John Hardon, S.J. Below is a quote from the on-line History of Art study guide. We think of Baroque art as overdone and fussy, but it was a trend towards realism in its use of light, dark, and shade, and it projected the art out into the viewer's world, whereas previously, Renaissance art was sort of flat and stylized with clear demarcation lines. Baroque art was to stimulate piety and played a large part in the construction and ornamentation of many Churches from this period including much of the Vatican..From the History of Art, study guide: According to the Council of Trent and the Catholic Church artworks should be a clear, intelligible subject realistically interpreted in order to stimulate piety. This was part of the reason that the artwork turned towards naturalism, becoming emotionally engaging and intense.
