When did the Counter Reformation begin within the Catholic Church?
Roman Catholic AnswerThe Catholic Reform (known to contempory protestants as the "counter-reformation" started around 1522, the two prime moving forces behind it were Pope Pius V and the Council of Trent. fromModern 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.

Why has Catholic doctrine become irrelevant to most Catholics around the world?
It is likely that many devout Catholics would disagree with such a general and sweeping statement.Certainly some of the doctrine and perceived wisdom of that church have changed.It does so to accommodate knew knowledge and new insights. That can only be for the good.A Catholic point of view:Doctrine never changes. However, when a new situation does come up the Church looks at how the existing doctrines apply to the new situation. Examples would be in vitro fertilization, human cloning, etc.Unfortunately, with the advent of Vatican II, too many of the clergy around the world decided to stop teaching Catholic doctrine from the pulpit or in Catholic Schools so as to 'Protestantize' the Church. Therefore, it isn't so much that many Catholics consider doctrine as irrelevant, they don't know what the doctrine is unless they have taken it upon themselves to search for an answer. Most Catholics learn more about Catholic doctrine from the evening news than from the pulpit. Therefore, many Catholics have lost their identity for the sake of ecumenism and political correctness. This is truly a disgraceful situation.

It ran from about 1522 to around 1648. One of the primary objectives of the Catholic reform was in response to the heretical movement known as the protestants. One of the key elements of the protestant heresy was an iconoclasm that removed and destroyed many of the elements of Catholic art that had been used for centuries to teach and instruct the people. The Baroque was an "artistic style that used exaggerated motion and clear, easily interpreted detail to produce drama, tension, exuberance, and grandeur" (Wikipedia) that was in part a response to the iconoclasm of the protestants.
