It reformed the Roman Catholic Church.
Explanation: The Council of Trent (1545–1563) was the centerpiece of the Catholic Counter‑Reformation — it clarified Catholic doctrine and enacted internal reforms (discipline, clerical education, abuses like indulgences), but it did not reconcile Catholics and Protestants nor reform the Eastern Orthodox Church or unify Western powers for defense.
