Answer 1

"The Catholic response to the Protestant Reformation. The Counter Reformation is also known as the Catholic Reformation. It was a counter reformation because it tried to counter the Protestants by creating the Index of Forbidden Books, and reviving Papal Inquisition. The center of this was the Council of Trent, which met between 1545 and 1563. This council was dominated by the papacy and, in turn, enhanced its power. The council placed limits on the selling of church offices, council mandated seminary for the education of clergy, and that it should be established in every diocese, the council did not concede any theological point to the Protestants."
