| | Catholic Reformation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Catholic Reformation or the Counter-Reformation was a strong reaffirmation of the doctrine and structure of the Catholic Church, climaxing at the Council of Trent, partly in reaction to the growth of Protestantism. | | | Other Catholic practices that drew the ire of liberal reformers within the Church, such as pilgrimages, the cults of saints and relics, and the cult of the Virgin were strongly reaffirmed as spiritually vital as well. | | | The Catholic Reformation, aimed at correcting the sources of the Reformation, and pronounced since the pontificate of Pope Paul III, was both retaliatory, committed to protecting Catholic institutions and practices from heresy and Protestantism, but also reformist, committed to reform the Church from within to stem the growing appeal of Protestantism. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: The Reformation |
| | Lutheranism was spread by violent means, and the faithful adherents of the Catholic religion were oppressed. | | | The Reformation destroyed the unity of faith and ecclesiastical organization of the Christian peoples of Europe, cut many millions off from the true Catholic Church, and robbed them of the greatest portion of the salutary means for the cultivation and maintenance of the supernatural life. | | | The latter restored the Catholic Faith and tried to restore the land to the unity of the Church. |

| | The Catholic Reformation |
| | The Reformation was such a time for the Roman Catholic Church. | | | The counter reformation developed during the mystic revival in Spain and was led by Ignatius Loyola, a soldier before he was a mystic. | | | The dogmas of Trent reflect the wisdom that the 16th century Roman Church found most acceptable in its past--wisdom sharpened by the witness of what seemed to be the errors of the Protestants. |

| | The Catholic church was not caught unawares by the Reformation. | | | The new Protestant churches were the wave of the future; and Catholicism—although it would remain a major religion—would in a few centuries cease to be the majority religion in the Western world. | | | The most important of the reactionary movements was the Society of Jesus or the Jesuits, founded by Ignatius of Loyola in the 1530's and recognized officially by the Catholic church a decade later. |

| | One of the fundamental aspects of the Catholic Reformation was the rise - or the perpetuation - of the exaltation of moral discipline, religious conformity and social obedience [6.2, Bossy, 1970]. | | | The Wittenberg reformer caused the Catholic Church severe difficulties as we have seen, and by his death in 1546 the separation of at least two arms of the Christian Church were all but complete. | | | The letter of Sadoleto was from a humanist and Catholic reformer and it urged the Genevan church to return to the fold (Sadoleto was appointed bishop of Carpentras, Provence, in 1517, then made cardinal in 1536. |

| | The Catholic Counter Reformation (1518-1648) |
| | Aware that reform was necessary pope Clement VII in 1534 called a conference which reviving the tone of the Catholic Church, rallied its scattered forces and turned upon its adversaries with a renewed and formidable energy. | | | The effect of this "counter-reformation" in the Roman Church resulted in the removal of the gross abuses which pervaded it and now the Catholics thinking their religion was now pure filled themselves with zeal for the defense of the worship, the policy and the doctrines of the Church. | | | It was agreed that in Germany, whatever might be the faith of the prince, the religion of each state was to be Catholic or Protestant according to its state in 1624. |

| | Counter-Reformation |
| | The century before the outbreak of the Reformation was marked by increasing and widespread dismay with the venality of the bishops and their involvement in politics, with the ignorance and superstition of the lower clergy, with the laxity of religious orders, and with the sterility of academic theology. | | | The corrupt hierarchy of the Roman Catholic Church was dramatically reformed in the wake of the Council of Trent. | | | The Counter - Reformation was the movement within the Roman Catholic Church in the 16th and 17th centuries that tried to eliminate abuses within that church and to respond to the Protestant Reformation. |

| | It arose from objections to doctrines and practices in the medieval church (see Roman Catholic Church) and ultimately led to the freedom of dissent (see Protestantism). | | | The divisions within the churches of the Reformation also served to forward the Counter Reformation within the Roman Catholic Church, which rewon Poland, Hungary, most of Bohemia, and part of Germany. | | | It has continued to exert influence to the present day, with its emphasis on personal responsibility and individual freedom, its refusal to take authority for granted, and its ultimate influence in breaking the hold of the church on life and consequent secularization of life and attitudes. |
