Question

Was martin luther against the council of trent or for it?

Answer 1

The Council of Trent was an ecumenical council made up of an elected group of Catholic clergy, mainly composed of bishops. Serving as part of the Catholic Counter-Reformation, the purposes of this council were to condemn and refute the beliefs of the Protestants, such as Martin Luther and John Calvin, and also to make the set of beliefs in Catholicism even clearer. This council had the power to not only reestablish and clear up previous Catholic beliefs, but it could completely change the beliefs, teachings, and practices of the Church in whatever way they saw appropriate at the time. This power led them to make some important changes to the practices and beliefs of the Church, many of which are still being used in Catholicism today.

Answer 2

Oh ok so just to make sure I am correct, he was a protester against it?

Answer 3

I would say he was against it because it ruled against his doctrine of justification by faith.

Answer 4

He didn't want to yet he had to because like @Miss_Deva said, it went against justification by faith.

Answer 5

So yes, Martin Luther was against the council of Trent.
