Answer:

The Council of Trent was an ecumenical council of the Roman Catholic Church, which meant that bishops from all over the world met to decide on a definite and binding doctrine that was supposed to apply to all Christians.

Explanation:

The Roman Catholic response to the Protestant Reformation's doctrinal challenges was the Council of Trent. It helped to revitalize the Roman Catholic Church in the face of Protestant expansion by defining Catholic doctrine and issuing sweeping self-reform decrees. The Council of Trent resulted in a chastened but unified church and papacy, which became known as modern-day Roman Catholicism.

Objective of the Council of Trent​:

  • The Council of Trent was primarily concerned with defending and clarifying Catholic doctrine, as well as responding to Protestant critics.
  • It clarified the importance of sacraments, improved clergy discipline, and education, and affirmed that both faith and works are required for salvation.
  • The Nineteenth Ecumenical Council met in Trent, Italy, from December 13, 1545, to December 4, 1563, for a total of 25 sessions.
  • The council's goal was to bring order and clarity to Catholic doctrine, as well as to pass legislation to reform the Church completely.
  • The Council of Trent took steps to ensure that Church officials were held to a strict code of conduct.
  • The sale of Church positions has been halted. It denounced and outlawed the sale of indulgences. For the first time, seminars were to be held.
  • The Council of Trent established a confession of faith and the Papacy's supremacy, condemned the Protestant doctrine of justification by faith, and rejected the Protestant view of Scripture alone.
