"Selling indulgences was forbidden."

The Council of Trent (1545–1563) enacted reforms to end abuses (including the sale of indulgences), reaffirmed Catholic doctrine and the authoritative role of Church tradition in interpreting Scripture, and rejected Protestant teachings—so it did not tolerate Protestantism or allow private interpretation/open discussion of the biblical text.
