Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The Council of Trent was the formal Roman Catholic reply to the doctrinal challenges of the Protestant Reformation . It served to define Catholic doctrine and made sweeping decrees on self-reform, helping to revitalize the Roman Catholic Church in the face of Protestant expansion.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.

Detailed explanation-4: –The final decrees of the Council reaffirmed traditional Catholic teachings in opposition to Protestant beliefs. Both faith and good works were declared necessary for salvation.-Reformers such as Luther had allowed the state to play an important, if not dominant, role in church affairs.
