The Council of Trent was convened in response to the Protestant Reformation, aiming to address issues such as corruption, discipline, and doctrine within the Catholic Church. Prior to the Council, there were attempts at reform within the Church, including the establishment of the Roman Inquisition and the formation of the Society of Jesus (Jesuits). The Council of Trent ultimately solidified Catholic doctrine and established guidelines for discipline and leadership within the Church.

What year did the Council of Trent publish a formal Catholic response to the criticisms of the reformers which addresses some of the worst abuses but effectively closes the door on reconciliation?

From The Catholic Encyclopedia:The nineteenth ecumenical council opened at Trent on 13 December, 1545, and closed there on 4 December, 1563. Its main object was the definitive determination of the doctrines of the Church in answer to the heresies of the Protestants; a further object was the execution of a thorough reform of the inner life of the Church by removing the numerous abuses that had developed in it. Please note that the Council of Trent did NOT close the door on reconciliation, it simply restated in the clearest possible terms the teaching that Jesus Christ had entrusted to His Church and guaranteed for the salvation of souls. The Council of Trent was trying to save the heretics who were rejected the teaching of Christ and making up their own.


How are censorship and the Council of Trent related?

Censorship when people block out certain media, such as parents blocking all the MA tv rated channels so their kids won't watch it. At The Council of Trent, they made a a list of certain books that were banned. The connection between censorship and The Council of Trent is a simple one, some books were censored to the public when people met for the council. . But most importantly the Council of Trent set up a system where a book particularly the Bible, was reviewed by an expert and approved by a Bishop. Thus anyone could know that a Bible had not been tampered with by one of the new protestant heresies, but was complete and did not contain any unauthorized additions. These are still printed inside the title page to this day and are known as the Imprimatur (bishop's license meaning "let it be printed"), and the Nihil Obstat (diocesan censor approval "nothing hinders [it from being printed]).

Were priests allowed to marry in the conclusion of the Council of Trent?

The Council of Trent seemed to affirm the practice of the Latin church requiring celibacy of its major orders (understood then as presbyter, deacon, and subdeacon). Minor clerics were allowed to be married, but consider second-class compared to celibate clerics. The 24th Session, in canon 10, anathematized anyone who claimed that marriage was a higher state than virginity or celibacy or who denied that it was better and more blessed to remain in virginity or celibacy than to be married. This applies to all Christians, though, and not just clergy. What this did was affirm that celibacy was a valid option for priests. Combined with the professionalization of the presbyterate and the formal education now required, the practical effect was that the requirement of celibacy (since Lateran Council I in 1123) was for the first time being universally received and put into practice, because of Trent.
