The Counter-Reformation, or Catholic Reformation, refers to the movement within the Church to reform abuses and other problematic practices pointed out by Protestant reformers like Martin Luther. The Catholic Reformation began with the Churchs official response to the Protestant Reformation, an Ecumenical Council held in Trent, Italy, from 1545 to 1563.
Clergy and laity both called for an Ecumenical Council to help the Church formulate a response to Martin Luther and the other reformers. After a number of secular European princes embraced the Protestant Reformation, especially in Germany, Pope Paul III finally called for a council. Once the Council finally convened in 1545, proceedings paused several times due to wars and epidemics before the Councils final adjournment in December 1563.
