Between 1545 and 1563, Church officials gathered at Trent to address doctrinal issues, and condemn Protestantism. Initiated by Pope Paul III (1534-49), the Council of Trent was an important reforming event that helped reassert traditional Catholic beliefs. The city became the centre for Rome’s Counter Reformation.
