Although the Pope called the Council of Trent, he didn't play an active role or attend. At the first Council of Trent , 31 out of a total of 700 bishops attended , and 50 theologians showed up. By the second meeting, 270 bishops, mostly Italian attended.
The major players at the Council of Trent were Pope Paul III, who called for the council, and key figures such as Cardinal Giovanni Morone and Cardinal Reginald Pole. The council was attended by bishops, theologians, and papal legates who played significant roles in shaping the decisions and reforms of the council.

.Catholic AnswersThe Jesuit Order was one of the major spearheads in enacting the reforms of the Council of Trent in the Catholic Church.
The major goal was to try to undo the damage done to the Catholic church by the Protestant reformation. The Council of Trent was called specifically for this purpose. Unfortunately, the Council did as much harm as good in this respect.
The Council of Trent, like all the other Ecumenical Councils of the Church, was a religious Council of Bishops which addressed theological problems of dogma and doctrine. It did not address economic effects, although I'm sure that it had good effects for the town of Trento, Italy as there were hundreds of Bishops there off and on for four years. They also had a major effect on seminarys which they required for priests education.

The Council of Trent seemed to affirm the practice of the Latin church requiring celibacy of its major orders (understood then as presbyter, deacon, and subdeacon). Minor clerics were allowed to be married, but consider second-class compared to celibate clerics. The 24th Session, in canon 10, anathematized anyone who claimed that marriage was a higher state than virginity or celibacy or who denied that it was better and more blessed to remain in virginity or celibacy than to be married. This applies to all Christians, though, and not just clergy. What this did was affirm that celibacy was a valid option for priests. Combined with the professionalization of the presbyterate and the formal education now required, the practical effect was that the requirement of celibacy (since Lateran Council I in 1123) was for the first time being universally received and put into practice, because of Trent.
