Detailed explanation-1: -The Counter-Reformation served to solidify doctrine that many Protestants were opposed to, such as the authority of the pope and the veneration of saints, and eliminated many of the abuses and problems that had initially inspired the Reformation, such as the sale of indulgences for the remission of sin.
Detailed explanation-2: -As Protestantism swept across many parts of Europe, the Catholic Church reacted by making limited reforms, curbing earlier abuses, and combating the further spread of Protestantism. This movement is known as the Catholic Counter-Reformation. Ignatius Loyola was one such leader of Catholic reform.
Detailed explanation-3: -The goals of the Counter Reformation were to reaffirm the supremacy of Catholicism, to denounce Protestantism and paganism, and to increase the worldwide influence of Catholicism.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Reformation Movement was against the Roman Catholic Church in the 16th Century and brought about the birth of the Protestant Church. So, the Catholic Church through dedicated Christians and some Popes introduced certain reforms within the Church. This movement is known as the Counter-Reformation.
