Catholic AnswerPrimarily, it evolved as a response to the Catholic revolt, and the main thrust of it began with the Council of Trent, with the Church restoring order in its teaching and organization in response to the chaos caused by the protestants and their wholesale revolt from Christ's teaching in His Church.

from A Catholic Dictionary, edited by Donald Attwater, Second edition, revised 1957

The Counter-Reformation is the name given to the Catholic movement of reform and activity which lasted for about one hundred years from the beginning of the Council of Trent (q.v., 1545), and was the belated answer to the threatening confusion and increasing attacks of the previous years.
