Answer 2

Paul III directed the council of cardinals, approved Jesuit order, used Inquisition to seek out heresy in Papal territory and called the council of Trent. Paul IV vigorously carried out the councils decrees.

Pope Paul III was pope 1534-1549. This was the time of the Protestant Reformation. He is best remembered for calling the Council of Trent in 1545, which reformed the Church. A reform had been called for for a very long time but had been put off to the point that Some people left the Church and started the Protestant Reformation. There was a growing problem with corrupt men taking positions within the Church. People wanted this addressed. The Council of Trent eliminated most of these abuses and clarified practically every doctrine challenged by the Protestants. This is known as the "Counter-Reformation" and is sometimes referred to as the "Catholic Reformation." He approved the newly-founded Jesuit order. He also issued a proclamation that automatically excommunicated anyone who robbed the Native Americans or enslaved them, though it was later withdrawn after complaints by the leaders of some nations. It did much help the positions of those who fought slavery even after it was revoked.

Answer 4

Pope Paul III (1534-1547) created the Society of Jesus(the Jesuits) who were the spearhead of the Catholic Reform especially as it was aimed at shoring up the damage done by the protestant revolt.

Although he, himself, led a scandalous life, he supported the reforming impulse in the Church and he began the mundane but important changes of things like canon law and papal finances, especially the abolition of the intricate network of exemptions from rules that had been the cause of so much corruption.

His most important contribution was the formation of the Commission for the Reform of the Church, to which he named Cardinals Contarini, Carafa (later Pope Paul IV), Pole, and Sadoleto.

A bishop and papal diplomat of that time was Gian Pietro Carafa, who later became Pope Paul IV (1555-1559). When he was elected, the Council of Trent, which had already met twice, went into abeyance as Pope Paul IV opposed it. The final session of Trent, by far the most productive, met under his successor, Pope Pius IV (1559-1565). When he was still a Cardinal, he has set up the Roman Inquisition, and as pope, he established the Index, he enforced clerical good conduct by imprisoning or exiling those whom he considered corrupt and imposing draconian laws on Rome, where prostitution was rife.

Pope Paul VI (1963-1978) was pope at the end of the Second Vatican Council, he brought the Council to a close and implemented the "spirit of Vatican II", or those under him did. He was the author of HUMANAE VITAE, an encyclical that proved prescience.
