Council of Trent (ITA) (1 janv. 1545 – 1 janv. 1563)

Description:

ecumenical council of the Roman Catholic Church, which made sweeping reforms and laid down dogma clarifying nearly all doctrines contested by the Protestants. Convened by Pope Paul III at Trento in northern Italy, it served to revitalize Roman Catholicism in many parts of Europe and was a key part of the Catholic Counter-Reformation.

In its first period (1545–47) it accepted the Nicene Creed as the basis of Catholic faith, fixed the canon of the Old and New Testaments, set the number of sacraments at seven, and defined the nature and consequences of original sin;

it also ruled against Martin Luther’s doctrine of justification by faith alone.
