The Council of Trent was one of the most important ecumenical councils of the Catholic Church ⛪. It was held in Trent (now Trento, Italy) between 1545 and 1563. Think of it as a major overhaul of the Catholic Church in response to the Protestant Reformation. It addressed issues of doctrine, reform, and discipline. The council played a crucial role in defining Catholic beliefs. It helped shape the modern Catholic Church.
