Detailed explanation-1: -The Council of Trent clarified many issues about which there had been continuing ambiguity throughout the early church and the Middle Ages, including the precise number and nature of the sacraments, the veneration of saints and relics, purgatory, the authority of the pope, and the use of indulgences.
Detailed explanation-2: -In reply to the Papal bull Exsurge Domine of Pope Leo X (1520), Martin Luther burned the document and appealed for a general council. In 1522 German diets joined in the appeal, with Charles V seconding and pressing for a council as a means of reunifying the Church and settling the Reformation controversies.
Detailed explanation-3: -A Roman Catholic council held from 1545-1553 to address challenges by Protestant Reformation. Members redefined Roman Catholic doctrine and theology in ways that endured through much of the twentieth century. This council was a central foundation of the Counter-Reformation or Catholic Reformation.
