True
The Council of Trent (1545-1563) indeed addressed issues related to the Protestant Reformation, including the use of vernacular languages. While the Catholic Church maintained Latin as the primary language of the Mass and official documents, it also recognized the need to provide access to the Scriptures in local languages to counter the influence of Protestant translations. This led to the promotion of certain authorized translations, such as the Douay-Rheims Bible in English.
