The main obstacle to calling the Council of Trent was primarily the protection of Protestants by German princes and resistance by secular political leaders. Both factors played significant roles in delaying the convening of the Council. While the excommunication of Martin Luther and the failure of the printing press had implications for the spread of ideas, they were not direct obstacles to the council itself.
