1. The Catholic Church established the Council of Trent in response to the Protestant Reformation. The council met over a span of 18 years (1545-1563) and focused on addressing the doctrinal and practical reforms needed for the Catholic Church to effectively combat the spread of Protestantism. The council reaffirmed key Catholic beliefs, clarified church teachings, and implemented measures to combat corruption and abuses within the church.
2. The Catholic Church also employed various forms of censorship and persecution to suppress the spread of Protestant ideas. This included banning and burning Protestant books and writings, as well as persecuting individuals who openly embraced Protestant beliefs. The Spanish Inquisition, for example, was used as a tool to root out and punish those who were suspected of heresy or non-conformity to Catholic teachings.
