Council of Trent
The Council of Trent was the most significant event of the Counter-Reformation. It reaffirmed Catholic doctrines and practices, addressed corruption in the Church, and reformed the clergy. This council had a lasting impact on the Catholic Church and its response to the Protestant Reformation.
The Council of Trent
The Catholic Reformation and the counter reformation are two expressions for the same thing.
The Counter-Reformation (also the Catholic Revival or Catholic Reformation) was the period of Catholic resurgence beginning with the Council of Trent (1545-1563) and ending at the close of the Thirty Years' War (1648), and was initiated in response to the Protestant Reformation.
The Counter Reformation
League for Catholic Counter-Reformation was created in 1967.
The Catholic Church's response to the Reformation was known as the Counter-Reformation.
The Catholic Counter-Reformation was in response to the Protestant Reformation. Its goal was to reform the Catholic Church from within.
Catholics refer to Luther's "reformation" as the protestant revolt. The Catholic Church reiterated and defined its teaching at the Council of Trent. The Counter-Reformation was led by scholars, and the Catholic Reform by Catholics.
H. O. Evennett has written: 'The Cardinal of Lorraine and the Council of Trent' -- subject(s): Council of Trent (1545-1563), Counter-Reformation 'The Catholic schools of England and Wales' -- subject(s): Catholic Church, Education 'The spirit of the Counter-Reformation' -- subject(s): Counter-Reformation
It is usually referred to as the Counter Reformation but either term is correct.
The Catholic Counter-Reformation resulted in: increase in missionary efforts, Council of Trent reforms, strengthening of the Inquisition. It did not lead to the abolition of the printing press.
