Roman Catholic AnswerThere was no new "church of Trent". The Council of Trent was 19th of 21 general ecumenical councils of the Catholic Church, (not counting the Council of Jerusalem in the books of Acts): First Ecumenical Council: Nicaea I (325)Second Ecumenical Council: Constantinople I (381)Third Ecumenical Council: Ephesus (431)Fourth Ecumenical Council: Chalcedon (451)Fifth Ecumenical Council: Constantinople II (553)Sixth Ecumenical Council: Constantinople III (680-681)Seventh Ecumenical Council: Nicaea II (787)Eighth Ecumenical Council: Constantinople IV (869)Ninth Ecumenical Council: Lateran I (1123)Tenth Ecumenical Council: Lateran II (1139)Eleventh Ecumenical Council: Lateran III (1179)Twelfth Ecumenical Council: Lateran IV (1215)Thirteenth Ecumenical Council: Lyons I (1245)Fourteenth Ecumenical Council: Lyons II (1274)Fifteenth Ecumenical Council: Vienne (1311-1313)Sixteenth Ecumenical Council: Constance (1414-1418)Seventeenth Ecumenical Council: Basle/Ferrara/Florence (1431-1439)Eighteenth Ecumenical Council: Lateran V (1512-1517)Nineteenth Ecumenical Council: Trent (1545-1563)Twentieth Ecumenical Council: Vatican I (1869-1870)Twenty-first Ecumenical Council: Vatican II (1962-1965)All of these councils were councils called by the Holy Father and attended by as many bishops as he could get there. 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".

What was the Catholic Vatican Council during 1869?
The First Vatican Council (an ecumenical/general council)opened, officially, on December 8, 1869, following 5 years of preparation, and "adjourned" on October 20, 1870. It was held at St. Peter's Basilica, Vatican City. To distinguish: the 5 prior ecumenical councils were held at the Lateran Basilica (Rome, Italy) and are known as the Lateran Councils. There have been a total of 21 Ecumenical Councils. The first being the Council of Nicaea (325 AD) and the last (so far) is Vatican Council II (1962-1965).An Ecumenical (general) Council is a conference of the bishops of The Catholic Church and is intended to discuss and settle matters of Church doctrine and practice. Key resolutions of Vatican Council I: several important canons relating to the Faith and the constitution of The Church were created/resolved. The Council also decreed (resolved in exact terms) papal infallibility as occurring, specifically, when the pope speaks ex cathedra-- from the Chair of Peter and defines -- in his capacity as shepherd and teacher of all Christians -- a doctrine/matter of faith or morals to be held/accepted by the whole Church. Understandably, non-Catholic Christians would reject that the pope speaks for all Christians but that is still the view of The Catholic Church when the pope speaks officially ex cathedraon a matter of faith or morals -- Truth.Vatican Council II Participants included: 6 archbishops ("princes"), 49 cardinals, 11 patriarchs, 680 archbishops and bishops, 28 abbots, 29 generals of orders, in all 803.Vatican Council I was also primarily (though not exclusively) a doctrinal council. By comparison, Vatican Council II was primarily (though not exclusively) a liturgical council.
Which church council decided the Arianism was heretical?
The first Council of Nicea, in A.D. 325, specifically condemned Arianism. It gave a Creed that represented historical Christianity, but it also appended the following anathema condemning Arianism:"But the holy, catholic [i.e., "universal," not Roman Catholic], and apostolic church anathematizes those who say, "There was a time when he was not," and "He was not before he was begotten," and "He was made from that which did not exist," and those who assert that he is of other substance or essence than the Father, that he was created, or is susceptible of change."The First Council of Constantinople in 381 declared that the decision of a general (now referred to as "ecumenical") council of the church is authoritative and binding.
What was the first Council of the Church and what did they discuss the conflict that led to the teachings that the Church is Catholic?
Actually, the first Council of the Church was the Council of Jerusalem in the book of Acts, but the Council that you are talking about is the Council of Nicaea in 325 A.D. which produced the first version of the Nicene Creed in which the Church is described as "One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic." The heresy that they were dealing with was Arianism, a heresy by the priest Arian who denied the divinity of Jesus Christ.The Church has been known as Catholic since the first century, it is first recorded in writing in St. Ignatius' Epistle to the Smyreans at the beginning of the second century. Thus the Church was known as Catholic before any conflicts that we know about outside of the Council of Jerusalem discussing whether converts had to be Jewish before they could become Christian.
