1545–1563: Ecumenical Council # 19- The Council of Trent defined the Church’s position in the Catholic Reformation.

Catholics finally took up the widespread call for reform in a systematic way at the Council of Trent (1545–1563), the very city the ineffectual Luigi d’Aragona passed through on his tour. This council was so important and so comprehensive that another like it was not needed for four hundred years—until Vatican Council II (1962–1965). Even then, Vatican II was more about “updating” the faith than reform of systematic abuses. The Age of Reformations resulted in the fragmenting of Western Christianity but also in new forms of Christian life and culture.

The Church in the Age of Reformations provides a case study in the principles of true reform and in the challenging conditions of the time that obscured them. While most Christians would agree that “true reform is a matter of regaining and maintaining the true image of Christ, and the true reformer is the one who most fully expresses the image of Christ in all facets of life,” what does that mean at the institutional level? That is where Christians have disagreed with each other ever since the Age of Reformations.
