The Council of Trent - Ayik Malual

The Council of Trent played a significant role in determining the result of the reformation. It was a gathering of the Priests, Bishops and Cardinals to discuss our matters of faith and determined the changes. It was held between december 1545-1563 under the support of three different Popes. (Paul III, Julius IIII, and Pius IV) in Trento & Bologna (Italy). The council being formed was a response to the protestants reformation, so they read and listened to their propositions.

The Council of Trent was called because of Martin Luther’s rebel against the practises of the sacraments. He was a monk of the church yet he became one of the most influential and powerful figures in the history of church. He questioned …show more content…

The Church believed that through Baptism you are cleansed and that you are free from original sin but the council announced that we can be cleansed through baptism but we can not fully be cleansed because once you have been Baptised you are still under the temptation of sinning. This issue was important to the council, they affirmed and readdressed this matter and as a church community we now all follow this new church law as it is stated in the Tridentine Creed. “I embrace an receive all and every one of the things which have been defined and declared in the holy Council of Trent concerning original sin and …show more content…

The Creed declared sacramental practises by reassuring that it was stated in the creed for us to follow. ‘’I also profess that there are truly and properly Seven Sacraments of the New Law, instituted by Jesus Christ our Lord, and necessary for the salvation of mankind’’ By reading this part of the creed we are declaring and vowing that in order for our souls to be saved (receiving salvation) we must first believe that there are truly Seven Sacraments were directly made by Jesus

    This caused a lot of deaths during the Reformation period because the Catholic church decided to prosecute people for following and listening to what Luther had taught them about the real Catholic Teachings. The Council of Trent was a way to stop the teachings of Catholic traditions and state clearly the renewal of the Catholic life. The work of the council was concerned with the organisation of the Church. A seminary was going to be set up for the education of priests in each diocese. During the reformation a Catechism which is a clear summary of Catholic beliefs was set out to help reform the order of Mass throughout the Catholic world which priests then helped educate and teach this understanding to Catholics. Indulgence selling was abolished which means that it was no longer a way for the Church to scavenge money and the infamous Inquisition was

  • Christianity As A Living Religious Tradition

    1291 Words  | 3 Pages

    Christianity is considered to be a living religion especially in terms of the reach for salvation. In the present through the practice of Baptism, Christians believe they die to the life of Original Sin and are born again to Christ, thus able to achieve Salvation. Thus, the tradition and sacred ritual of baptism implies that in order to be active adherents in the Catholic church, one must be baptised, just as Jesus was in the New Testament, “Peter said to them, Repent, and be baptised every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ.” (Acts 2:38) Another way in which baptism demonstrate that Christianity is a living religious tradition, is through the teachings associated with the purpose of human existence. Through the act of Baptism, which is a direct display of the belief in Salvation through Jesus, the purpose of human life is presented in terms of adherent’s purpose to lov...

    Thesis statement: Martin Luther was responsible for the break-up of the Catholic Church Martin Luther was a representative during the 16th century of a desire widespread of the renewal and reform of the Catholic Church. He launched the Protestant reform a continuation of the medieval religious search. From the Middle ages, the church faced many problems such as the Babylonian Captivity and the Great Schism that hurt the prestige of the church. Most of the clergy lived in great luxury while most people were poor and they set an immoral example. The clergy had low education and many of them didn’t attend their offices.

    Having a religion change, many times, takes a toll on those who follow. This would include the hardships of the Protestant Reformation and the Catholic Reformation. Religious tensions were spreading throughout Europe, starting from the Protestant Reformation. Some of those who followed the Catholic church began to question how much was true and how many lies they were told to believe in. Many important Leaders of the Reformation stated their opinions about that Catholic church. These opinions would then be evaluated in the Catholic Reformation, The Council of Trent. Beliefs would be revised and practices would be evaluated. The core beliefs would still be Catholic, thus still different from a protestant beliefs. This led to officials of states

  • The Role of the Roman Catholic Church During the Enlightenment

    1557 Words  | 4 Pages

    Proving to be the paramount of the conflict between faith and reason, the European Enlightenment of the eighteenth century challenged each of the traditional values of that age. Europeans were changing, but Europe’s institutions were not keeping pace with that change.1 Throughout that time period, the most influential and conservative institution of Europe, the Roman Catholic Church, was forced into direct confrontation with these changing ideals. The Church continued to insist that it was the only source of truth and that all who lived beyond its bounds were damned; it was painfully apparent to any reasonably educated person, however, that the majority of the world’s population were not Christians.2 In the wake of witch hunts, imperial conquest, and an intellectual revolution, the Roman Catholic Church found itself threatened by change on all fronts.3 The significant role that the Church played during the Enlightenment was ultimately challenged by the populace’s refusal to abide by religious intolerance, the power of the aristocracy and Absolutism, and the rising popularity of champions of reform and print culture, the philosophes, who shared a general opposition to the Roman Catholic Church.

  • The Reformation and the Church

    The Reformation was a decisive period in the history not only for the Catholic Church, but also for the entire world. The causes of this tumultuous point in history did not burst on the scene all at once, but slowly gained momentum like a boil that slowly festers through time before it finally bursts open. The Reformation of the Church was inevitable because of the abuses which the Church was suffering during this period. At the time of the Reformation, a segment of the Church had drifted away from its mission to bring Christ and salvation to the world. Throughout the Middle Ages, the Church had gradually become weaker because of abusive leadership, philosophical heresy, and a renewal of a form of the Pelagian heresy.

  • Response To Martin Luther's The Council Of Trent

    159 Words  | 1 Pages

    The Council of Trent reformed Catholic doctrine/teachings, and also clarified those that were questioned by Martin Luther. One of these being salvation, Luther believed that salvation was only possible through faith alone and not through any sort of good deeds. The Council responded to this by teaching the importance of both faith and good works as salvation not only came from faith, but also through good deeds done that often represented that faith in action. Another is that the message of Christ was found in Scripture alone, Protestants also believed that it was an individual right to interpret Scripture. The Council responded to both of these by emphasising that the message of Christ also came from the traditions in the life of the Church

    It is in the Church that all the means necessary for salvation is found and it is made available to all mankind. Christ is the Head of the Church; “His Mystical Body” who is forever present, although invisible within the Church; His grace flows out towards all throughout the world. When we profess our faith in God, in the Nicene Creed, we acknowledge that the Church is One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic. The Word “holy” means “associated with God’ . Consequently,

    This sparked the counter-reformation. The Catholic Leaders wanted to revive religious piety and disallow clergy to marry. These new orders were intended to reconvert Catholics who had become Protestant. With this, they gave greater power to the Inquisition, and ability to ban certain books. This was established in 1557, and not abolished until 1966 with Vatican II. The central doctrines of Protestantism were condemned by The Council of Trent. With this, the schism between Protestant and Catholics remained

  • Why Did The Reformation Fail

    828 Words  | 2 Pages

    The Reformation, a schism that took place around the start of the 14th century, occurred due to people being fed up with the Catholic Church’s misuse and exploitation of power. The Church had run into this power through issues that occurred centuries earlier. Following a major disagreement between Holy Roman Emperor Henry IV and Pope Gregory VII over who had the right to appoint clergymen in the year 1075, the church and the state fell into a great power struggle. The conflict, which had tarnished the relationship between the two, was finally resolved in 1122 by Pope Calistus II and Henry V. This resolution was sealed between the church and the state by a peace agreement called the Concordat of Worms. Ultimately, however, the Concordat of Worms failed to fix the outstanding issues between the two parties. In fact, it actually brought more theoretical power to the church. As a result, the Church attempted to restructure their control of
