| | Council of Trent - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 |
| The Council of Trent is reckoned by the Roman Catholic Church to be the Nineteenth Ecumenical Council of the universal church. |
|
| It is considered one of the most important councils in the history of the Roman Catholic Church, establishing church doctrine in response to the Reformation and condemning Protestantism. |
|
| In the twenty-fifth and last session, the doctrines of purgatory, the invocation of saints, and the veneration of relics were reaffirmed, as also the efficacy of indulgences as dispensed by the Church according to the power given her, but with some cautionary recommendations. |

| | Council of Trent |
|
| 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. |
|
| The legates who presided at the council were equal to their difficult task; Paceco of Jaen, Campeggio of Feltre, and the Bishop of Fiesole already mentioned were especially conspicuous among the bishops who were present at the early sessions. |
|
| The Ecumenical Council of Trent has proved to be of the greatest importance for the development of the inner life of the Church. |

|
| TRENT, COUNCIL OF [Trent, Council of] 1545-47, 1551-52, 1562-63, 19th ecumenical council of the Roman Catholic Church, convoked to meet the crisis of the Protestant Reformation. |
|
| The doctrinal canons of the Council of Trent cover most of the controverted points in Roman Catholic dogma, and the definitions are so clear and lucid that the language of the council is often quoted in definitions. |
|
| The reform measures of the council were tremendously far-reaching and their enforcement was probably the most thoroughgoing reform in the history of the church. |

| | Ecumenism and the Council of Trent |
|
| The Council of Trent, and other Church councils, declare that any person who disagrees with even one of their doctrinal statements is thereby anathematized. |
|
| THE ANATHEMAS OF THE COUNCIL OF According to the "Catechism of the Catholic Church," the Catholic doctrine of infallibility applies not only to the Pope, but also to Church Councils (including the Council of Trent). |
|
| Paragraph 9 of the "Catechism" says that the Council of Trent was the origin of Catholic Catechisms. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: The Sacrament of Penance |
|
| The Council of Tribur (895) declared in regard to bandits that if, when captured or wounded they confessed to a priest or a deacon, they should not be denied communion; and this expression "presbytero vel diacono" was incorporated in the Decree of Gratian and in many later documents from the tenth century to the thirteenth. |
|
| It is therefore with good reason that the earlier councils -- e.g., Laodicaea (A. 372) and Carthage IV (397) -- teach that satisfaction is to be imposed on penitents; and the Council of Trent but reiterates the traditional belief and practice when it makes the giving of "penance" obligatory on the confessor. |
|
| But no such action is implied in the commission to baptize (Matthew 28:18-20); in fact, as the Council of Trent affirms, the Church does not pass judgment on those who are not yet members of the Church, and membership is obtained through baptism. |

| | Trent |
|
| The Council of Trent is one of the most important events in the history of the Roman Catholic church. |
|
| It was convened at Trent, now in northern Italy, from 1545 to 1563Ñwith several breaks in between--with the twofold task of defining the doctrines of the church in reply to the heresies of the Protestants and of bringing about a thorough reform of the inner life of Christians. |
|
| The Canones et decreta make no attempt at embracing the whole doctrinal system of the Roman Catholic church; instead, they present a selection of the most vital doctrines chosen to counter Protestantism. |

| | Catholic Reform |
|
| Tridentine spirituality carried out council reforms by being strongly sacramental, with special emphasis on the Mass, the practice of private prayer as meditation on the divine mysteries, a personal and communal devotional life, and practical good works as the expression of the Christian commitment to Christ. |
|
| The Council of Trent lost an opportunity when it defensively failed to translate the Mass, bible and hymns, into the vernacular as Luther had done. |
|
| Note that they lived at the same time, or following, the council, an indicator of the earnestness of the reform. |

|

| | The Old Testament Canon and Apocrypha |
|
| Martin Luther omitted First and Second Esdras from the Apocrypha of his German Bible in 1534, and both books were also rejected by the Roman Catholics at the Council of Trent in 1546. |
|
| Apocrypha is a Greek word meaning things hidden, and in ancient times this word was applied to religious writings esteemed almost as scripture by some, but which were not read to the unlearned in public. |

| | Tradition, The Council of Trent, and a Great Debate Lost |
|
| There was a strong party even of the Catholics within the council who were in favor of abandoning "tradition" and adopting THE SCRIPTURES ONLY as the standard of authority. |
|
| The view was so decidedly held in the debates that the Pope's legates actually wrote to him that there was "a strong tendency to set aside tradition altogether and to make scripture the sole standard of appeal." But to do this would manifestly be a big step towards justifying the clains of the protestants... |
|
| By this crisis there was develoepd within the ultra-catholic portion of the council the task of convincing the others that "scripture and TRADITION" were the only sure ground to stand upon -- if this could be done, the council could be convinced to issue a decree CONDEMING THE REFORMATION, otherwise not... |

| | Modern History Sourcebook: Council of Trent: Catechism for Parish Priests |
|
| In the first place, as already explained, it was issued by the express command of the Ecumenical Council of Trent, which also ordered that it be translated into the vernacular of different nations to be used as a standard source for preaching. |
|
| A final decree regarding such a catechism was passed in a general meeting of November 2nd, of the same year, wherein it was enjoined on all Bishops to see that the Catechism should be faithfully translated into the vulgar tongue and expounded to the people by all parish priests. |
|
| What we have said, then, of the creation of the universe is to be understood as conveyed by the words heaven and earth, and is thus briefly set forth by the Prophet: Thine are the heavens, and thine is the earth: the world and the fullness thereof thou hast founded. |
