Council of Trent: Counter Reformation
TRENT (1545-1563)
This represented the true reformation.
Others called it Counter Reformation. It was
convoked because of the situation created by
Protestantism. Since Luther revolted in 1517, things
became bad to worse. But it took twenty years for
the church to convoke such a council.
