I can not describe in detail the impact of the reformation on the development of the Catholic Church. That would require several books.

In Geneva Switzerland, John Calvin wrote two large volumes, The Institutes of the Christian Religion. In those two volumes he listed many things which were wrong with the Roman Catholic Church. One was an illiterate clergy. Another was that The Bible was not used during the worship service. I do not remember the rest.

The Council of Trent took his book and used it as their guide for reforming the Roman Catholic Church. They accepted his criticisms. They did not accept his protestant solutions but came up with their own.

They educated their priesthood. They did away with the purchase of church offices. They added Bible reading to the worship service.
