The Council of Trent marked a turning-point in the history of the Catholic Church as it gave Catholics a certainty about their own beliefs and practices that had been lacking and, offered a firm base on which the spiritual life of the Catholic world could be reconstructed.
Called for by Pope Paul III, the Council was finally disbanded in 1563; although it had a life span of 18 years, it was only engaged in talks for four and a half years. The Pope did not attend the meetings of the Council and he took no formal part in it, however his legates had to ensure that the Pope’s views would always be put forward in order that there was no danger of the Council being superior to the Pope.
