How did the Council of Trent affect the Catholic reformation?
The Council of Trent did not affect the Catholic Reformation, it was part OF the Catholic Reformation, your question has it backwards.The 19th Ecumenical Council of the Church was summoned for the purposes of 1) reforming the Church, and 2) combating protestantism. The nineteenth ecumenical council opened at Trent on 13 December, 1545, and closed there on 4 December, 1563. Its main object was the definitive determination of the doctrines of the Church in answer to the heresies of the Protestants; a further object was the execution of a thorough reform of the inner life of the Church by removing the numerous abuses that had developed in it. The Council of Trent was called by Paul III who was pope from 1534 to 1549 and it first sat in December 1545.from the Catholic Encyclopedia article on the Council of TrentThe Ecumenical Council of Trent has proved to be of the greatest importance for the development of the inner life of the Church. No council has ever had to accomplish its task under more serious difficulties, none has had so many questions of the greatest importance to decide. The assembly proved to the world that notwithstanding repeated apostasy in church life there still existed in it an abundance of religious force and of loyal championship of the unchanging principles of Christianity. Although unfortunately the council, through no fault of the fathers assembled, was not able to heal the religious differences of western Europe, yet the infallible Divine truth was clearly proclaimed in opposition to the false doctrines of the day, and in this way a firm foundation was laid for the overthrow of heresy and the carrying out of genuine internal reform in the Church.from A Catholic Dictionary, edited by Donald Attwater, Second edition, revised 1957The Council of TrentThe 19th ecumenical council held at Trent in the Austrian Tyrol, 1545-63, summoned for the purpose of combating Protestantism and reforming the discipline of the Church; the longest and one of the most important of all general councils. 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. The principal dogmatic decisions were: the confirmation of the Nicene creed; the authenticity of the Latin Vulgate and the canonicity of all books contained therein and of them only; the definition of the doctrine of Original Sin; the precision of the doctrine of Justification, condemning justification by faith alone and imputation of grace; the condemnation of thirty errors about the sacraments; the definition of the Real Presence and of Transubstantiation as its mode: the precision of the doctrine of the sacraments of penance and Extreme Unction; the declaration that holy communion in both kinds was not necessary for lay-people and clerics not celebrating, Christ being received whole and entire under either species; the precision of doctrine concerning the sacrifice of the Mass and the sacraments of holy Orders and Matrimony; the affirmation of the doctrines of Purgatory, of the invocation of saints, and the veneration of them, their relics and images, and of Indulgences. Far-reaching decrees of reformation in discipline and morals were adopted involving many alterations in canon law, e.g. the decree Tametsi.
Catholic church against adoption?
No. In fact, the Catholic Church is very much in favor of adoption, and against abortion. The Fifth Commandment very clearly states, "Thou shall not kill" (Ex 20:13). Life begins when the egg and sperm join to create a zygote (link added). Therefore, abortion is the destroying of that life and is murder. If a woman finds herself pregnant and does not want to keep or take care of the child, the Church teaches that adoption is the loving choice. The Catechism of the Catholic Church, even recommends that infertile couples adopt (CCC 2379). Adoption allows the mother to still live her own life without having to take care of a child, while the child gets a chance to live.
What are 3 main reasons why the Catholic Church was slow in responding to the Protestant Reformation?
The causes of the protestant revolt reach clear back to the Avignon Papacy (1378-1417), conciliarism, and the often scandalous pontificates of Sixtus IV, Alexander VI, and Leo X, all of which significantly weakened the papacy's authority. In addition, it was the sixteenth century, and it could take months to get a letter from Germany to Rome and back. And the Church has always moved on its own time schedule, the Catholic Church sees things in terms of centuries, after all, it had been functioning for fifteen centuries before Martin Luther was even born. By the time the Pope had clearly seen the need for a Council and had arranged for all the Bishops in the world to get to Trent to begin the Council, and then the Council, itself, ran from 1545 to 1563, and then it had to be implemented in the various dioceses throughout the world, the dust hadn't settled from the Council for another century.
What was the only institution that survived the fall of the empire in the church of the middle ages?
There was no Church in the Middle Ages that could really be considered the only Church. The Catholic Church was clearly the largest and most important until it split into the Roman Catholic Church and Eastern Orthodox Church in 1054, after which the two were about the same size and importance. There were a number of other church organizations, however, and these included the Coptic Church and the Oriental Orthodox Church, among others, which have survived to the present. There were other church organizations, such as the Celtic Church, which were subsumed by the Catholic Church during the Early Middle Ages. And there were heretic church organizations, such as the Catharists, during the entire period.

What would happen if you questioned the Roman Catholic Church?
Roman Catholic AnswerI don't understand the question, as in what do you mean by the "Roman Catholic Church", and what do you mean by "question". If you are talking about questioning what your local Catholic Church does, say, in the choice of music or vestments on Sunday, I'm sure your pastor would explain his reasons, when asked. If you are talking about questioning the doctrines of the Church, then you have to understand that you are questioning the doctrines of Our Blessed Lord, as He very clearly stated, "He who hears you, hears me." The Roman Catholic Church, as an organization, is the Mystical Body of Christ, and the only thing that it teaches is the doctrine that It has received from God. What would happen to you if you questioned that? Nothing that I know of, you would have to ask a more specific question, as the question, as asked, doesn't make much sense.

Why does godfather have to be Catholic in Catholic baptism?
When an infant is baptized in the Catholic Church, the parents choose godparents who are tasked with overseeing the spiritual upbringing of the child (should the parents' guidance not be sufficient). When the child is baptized, the godparent(s) make an oath to raise the child in the Catholic faith, which is clearly something they cannot promise if they do not believe it for themselves.

What are the basic characteristics of the music of the counter reformation?
Music of the Counter Reformation was characterized by its elaborate embellishments, use of polyphony, and a focus on clarity of text for religious worship.

The music was designed to enhance the spiritual experience and convey the teachings of the Catholic Church.
What is J R R Tolkien religion?

Is Kendrick Lamar catholic?
It's quite curious because if you watch the "Bit** Don't Kill My Vibe" video, you can clearly see that all the elements (the church with saints, the people with the coffin, dressed white) point that he is mostly Catholic.
Did J.R.R. Tolkien believe magic and religion were compatible?
No, Tolkien was a Catholic. But he had no problem with fantasy magic in fictional stories, as that isn't real and the Catholic Church has no opposition to fictional stories. Catholic Church doctrine clearly states that occult magic is "a lie of the Devil" and practicing it is a very serious sin. When they say occult magic is a "lie" they mean very clearly that it is NOT real and any observed effects and results are faked by either the Devil or his demons. This is what Tolkien believed.
Is Austin Mahone a Catholic?
He probably is a Catholic. In one of his interviews you can clearly see a cross made from a Palm Sunday palm on his bedroom door. This is customary among Catholics, though not exclusive to them. However, in his cover of "Pray" he is seen making the Sign of the Cross at the beginning. This is a uniquely Catholic gesture.
