The Council of Trent which took place between 1545 and 1563 sought to settle certain doctrinal questions of the Catholic Church as well as to reign in certain practices that had been perceived as corrupt or wrong for the church. Ultimately the council was in response to the growth of protestantism and the Council of Trent denounced the growth of Protestantism as heresy and against the true teachings of the Catholic Church. There were also far reaching decrees that were passed in the areas of discipline and in the morals of the church to control the actions of its leaders and members. 

The final decree of the Council of Trent was to reaffirm the traditional Catholic teachings in position of protestant beliefs.
