Detailed explanation-1: -The Council of Trent focused on defending and elaborating on Catholic doctrine, as well as answering the criticisms of members of the Protestant faith. It affirmed that both faith and works were necessary for salvation, clarified the importance of sacraments, and improved clergy discipline and education.
Detailed explanation-2: -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.
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: -In three separate sessions, the council reaffirmed the authority of the Catholic Church, codified scripture, reformed abuses, and condemned Protestant theology, establishing the vision and goals of the Catholic Counter-Reformation.
