The Council of Trent was an ecumenical council convened by the Roman Catholic Church in Trento, the principle city of the Bishopric of Trent, now a part of modern Italy, thus its name. The council had 25 sessions from Dec. 13, 1545 to Dec. 4, 1563. The first 8 session were held in Trent, the next three in Bologna, and the last 14 back in Trent.
