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. It was summoned by Pope Paul III and all bishops of the Catholic Church were invited. taken from A Catholic Dictionary, edited by Donald Attwater, Second Edition, Revised

Can a Catholic get married in a Orthodox Church?
As long as you are Christened you can marry in an Orthodox church - but you will need quite a bit of paper work translated.Roman Catholic AnswerA Catholic is required to marry in front of a priest, preferably his pastor, or someone whom his pastor has delegated. He may marry elsewhere with a dispensation (if such a dispensation is given). You should talk to your parish priest about this.
How do you get your marriage recognized by the Catholic Church?
All marriages between non-Catholics are recognized as valid by the Catholic Church. In case of non-Catholic baptized persons, all marriages (also civil marriages!) are recognized as sacramental marriages. In case of non-baptized people, they are recognized as valid, but not sacramental marriages. For baptized Catholics, there is a requirement of form in order to have a valid sacramental marriage. If you have married without observing these requirements or without getting a dispensation from the Church authorities, then your marriage is considered invalid. It can be recognized retroactively by the Church though, in a short ceremony which is called "sanatio in radice" (healing at the root). Ask your local Catholic pastor about it!
