The major goal was to try to undo the damage done to the Catholic church by the Protestant reformation. The Council of Trent was called specifically for this purpose. Unfortunately, the Council did as much harm as good in this respect.

What made the Protestant Reformation and the Catholic Reformation different?

The difference between them is that the Catholic Reformation was the response to the Protestant Reformation. The Protestanst accused the Catholic Church of indulgences (paying for your sins to essentially be erased), being able to pay for your religious post, and to be able to have more than one post at a time, and many other scandals. Martin Luther nailed his 95 Thesis to the Church door in Wittenberg and from then, the Protestant Reformation started and eventually, the Church held the Council of Trent, whose goal was to purify the Church. The Jesuits were formed from the Catholic Reformation. The Jesuits were formed by St. Ignatius of Loyola and they converted people to Catholicism. They were considered one of the bright lights of the Catholic Reformation.

How was the Reformation different from a schism or a heresy?

Schism In the Great Schism of 1054, the Catholic Orthodox Church (as it is now known among scholars) split into two parts, each part claiming to represent the original Church. Heresy A heresy implies that a minority group accepts a belief that the majority finds abhorent to their religion. Arianism was regarded as a heresy because it held that Jesus was not truly divine. Reformation The original purpose of the Reformation leaders was to reform the Roman Catholic Church. It was only after the Church resisted change, that the Protestant Churches began to break away.

What were the characteristics of the counter reformation?

Catholic AnswerThe Catholic Reformation, which is known to protestants and some secular scholars as the "counter-reformation" is better known as the Catholic reformation as it was going on before the protestant revolt. The effects of the Catholic Reformation were stunning, although it did not completely accomplish its goal of the return of everyone to the faith, it did bring about new Religious Orders, the Council of Trent, the reform of the clergy, the seminary education system for education of the clergy, the requirement that Bishops must reside in their diocese, the regulation of the Mass. If infallibly defined the books of the Bible that the Church had been using for 1,200 years at that point, and it definitively rejected all the various theories put forward by the protestant revolters. from Modern Catholic Dictionary by John A. Hardon, S.J. Doubleday & Co., Inc. Garden City, NY 1980A period of Catholic revival from 1522 to about 1648, better know as the Catholic Reform. It was an effort to stem the tide of Protestantism by genuine reform within the Catholic Church. There were political movements pressured by civil rules, and ecclesiastical movements carried out by churchmen in an attempt to restore genuine Catholic life by establishing new religious orders such as the Society of Jesus and restoring old orders to their original observances, such as the Carmelites under St. Teresa of Avila (1515-98). The main factors responsible for the Counter Reformation, however, were the papacy and the council of Trent (1545-63). Among church leaders St. Charles Borromeo (1538-84), Archbishop of Milan, enforced the reforms decreed by the council, and St. Francis de Sales of Geneva (1567-1622) spent his best energies in restoring genuine Catholic doctrine and piety. Among civil rulers sponsoring the needed reform were Philip II of Spain (1527-98) and Mary Tudor (1516-58), his wife, in England. Unfortunately this aspect of the reformation led to embitterment between England and Scotland, England and Spain, Poland and Sweden, and to almost two centuries of religious wars. As a result of the Counter Reformation, the Catholic Church became stronger in her institutional structure, more dedicated to the work of evangelization, and more influential in world affairs.


What was the name of the meeting were called to address the goal of the catholic reformation?

There technically is no "Roman" Catholic Church, the Catholic Church has been around for twenty centuries and has had dozens of ecumenical councils in that time. You would have to narrow it down to a specific time period.


Describe the counter reformation at the Council of Trent and the role of the Jesuits?

.Catholic AnswerYour terms are a little confused. The Council of Trent, technically, was the beginning of what protestants refer to as the "counter reformation" better known as the Catholic reform. The Society of Jesus was formed several years before the Council of Trent got underway, but really didn't become a force to be dealt with until decades later. St. Ignatius started the Society of Jesus in 1540 (the Council of Trent ran from 1545-65) and the Popes in 1571 and 1585 issued bulls in support of the Society. By the way, in the sixteenth centuries, the only people who used the word "Jesuits" were people who didn't like them, it was a term used for abuse. The Jesuits had a two fold goal: education and returning the heretics to the faith, and preaching the Gospel in mission lands.
