"The Reformation" is the Protestant term for the people who had issues, shall we say, with the Catholic church of their day, and refused to compromise with the Church. So they broke away and founded their own churches. The same historians who refer to "The Reformation" refer to the Catholic Church's reaction as the "Counter-reformation". Probably what you are referring to is the Council of Trent, which was an Ecumenical Council which meant in the 16th century to deal with the errors of the "reformers". Most of the errors of the time, which sparked, for instance, Martin Luther's protest were not of the church itself, but of individuals, and/or misunderstanding by Martin Luther himself. Indulgences, for instance, have never been "sold", that would be the sin of Simony, a very serious sin. The errors which brought about his objections were rectified. Pope Saint Pius V oversaw an new Catechism, The Catechism of the Council of Trent, also, the Mass was codified, approved, and published, and all other rites of the church that were less than two hundred years old were suppressed. In the language of the Church, all of the "reformers" were heretics, rejected to some degree, some more, some less, the Christian church which we received in an unbroken line from the Apostles. There can never be "compromise" with sin and heresy, so all those people who separated themselves from the church were declared anathema, the church reformed the errors that had been brought to light, and then attempted through saints like St. Charles Borremeo, St. Francis de Sales, and St. Ignatius, to re-evangelise those who had been separated from the church. This effort continues to this day through Pope Benedict XVI.

Counter-Reformation
The Reformation, led by Martin Luther and others, sought to reform the Catholic Church and ultimately led to the formation of Protestant denominations. The Counter-Reformation was the Catholic Church's response to the Reformation, focusing on reforming itself, reaffirming Catholic doctrine, and combating the spread of Protestantism.

Protestantism was originally founded after Martin Luther split from the Catholic Church at the start of the Reformation in 1517. Thus, Protestantantism could be said to have been against Catholicism.
The Reformation had a significant impact on the Catholic Church by leading to the division of Christianity into different branches, such as Protestantism. This movement challenged the authority and practices of the Catholic Church, leading to reforms within the church itself. The Reformation also resulted in a decline in the power and influence of the Catholic Church in some regions of Europe.
Catholic leaders launched the Counter-Reformation in response to the Protestant Reformation, which challenged the authority of the Catholic Church and led to the loss of followers. They sought to address corruption within the Church, reaffirm their teachings, and win back those who had converted to Protestantism.
The Catholic Counter-Reformation was in response to the Protestant Reformation. Its goal was to reform the Catholic Church from within.
Evangelicalism is a subset of Protestantism, but they are not the same. Protestantism is a broad category of Christian denominations that broke away from the Roman Catholic Church during the Reformation. Evangelicalism is a specific movement within Protestantism that emphasizes personal conversion, the authority of the Bible, and evangelism.
The Catholic Reformation, also known as the Counter-Reformation, was prompted by the challenge posed by the Protestant Reformation. Leaders in the Catholic Church sought to address criticisms and reform certain practices within the church, such as corruption and the sale of indulgences, in order to combat the spread of Protestantism and strengthen the church's influence. This led to changes and revitalization within the Catholic Church.
The 95 theses were written during a period in European history known as the reformation. They furthered the ideology of the reformation by questioning the authority of the Catholic church. As a result, Protestantism began to get a hold in Europe. In response to these and other challenges, the Catholic church began the Counter-Reformation.
Counter Reformation 16th-century reformation that arose largely in answer to the Protestant Reformation; sometimes called the Catholic Reformation. Although the Roman Catholic reformers shared the Protestants' revulsion at the corrupt conditions in the church, there was present none of the tradition breaking that characterized Protestantism. The Counter Reformation was led by conservative forces whose aim was both to reform the church and to secure the its traditions against the innovations of Protestant theology and against the more liberalizing effects of the Renaissance.
