  attempt to return the church to more spiritual
  ways and to stop the spread of Protestantism

The Council of Trent

• Being that church authorities often disagreed
  about certain matters, Paul III summoned church
  leaders to the Italian city of Trent
• The Council of Trent clarified the Catholic
  churchs position on issues such as the
  importance of ceremonies
• The Council eliminated the sale of indulgences,
  tightened the discipline within the clergy and
  emphasized the need for priests in the church
• The decisions made by the council were effective
  for many within the Catholic church. They found
  the ceremonies comforting, the ornate churches
  moving, they respected the authority of the
  priests and they wanted to believe a person could
  gain salvation through good deeds

Soldiers of the Counter-Reformation

• To further strengthen support, the Catholic
  church formed new religious orders such as the
  Society of Jesus or the Jesuits.
• Ignatius de Loyola founded the Jesuits in 1534.
  Its followers took vows of chastity, poverty and
  obedience to the pope
• The Jesuits became the most effective agents in
  spreading Catholicism
• They stressed education and founded some of the
  best colleges in Europe. They combined humanist
  values with Catholic doctrine
• Their preaching slowed the spread of
  Protestantism in France, Germany and Poland

Results of the Religious Upheaval

• This period of time between 1530s the mid
  1600s was a time of devastating religious wars.
  When the wars ended the results of the
  Reformation and Counter-Reformation could be seen
• The main result of the two Reformations was the
  creation of many different churches in Europe and
  less religious tolerance
• Another was a stronger interest in education
  which both the Protestants and Catholics used to
  win support
• Finally the Reformations led to increased power
  of the governments and a decrease in power of
  religious leaders
