Regain the power that the Catholic Church had lost.

The Counter‑Reformation (Catholic Reformation) was the Church's response to Protestantism — including the Council of Trent, the Jesuits, and the Inquisition — aimed at reforming abuses, reaffirming doctrine, and winning back believers, not compromising with Protestants or promoting new science.
