The only thing that we know of that is defined as infallible is the Pope, he is infallible (preserved from error) when teaching to the entire Church on matters of faith and morals. In this light, the Catechism of the Council of Trent would indeed be considered infallible as it was the teaching of several Popes. However, it is not considered inerrant in the way The Bible is.
The Catechism put out after the Council of Trent and used in the 17th century was known as the Roman Catechism. You may get a copy below at the Amazon link, and view the Catechism at the link below that.
The Catechism of the Catholic Church was originally written by the Council of Trent. It was promulgated as the Catechism on December 8 of 1992 by Pope John Paul II.
The Council of Trent was held in Trent, a city in northern Italy.

The Council of Trent was NOT suspended in 1545 but was held between 1545 and 1563 in Trento (Trent) and Bologna, northern Italy.
