Description:

The Council of Trent (1545-1562) was convened by the Church to respond to the challenge of the Protestant Reforms. In many ways it defined a Catholic identity that was to endure to the 20th century. The course will study in its historical context the major aspects of "tridentine Catholicism": hierarchical structure, Roman centralization, definite faith, missionary zeal. It will consider the men and women who influenced this movement, their faith, their spirituality; as well as the ways in which such as identity as been challenged in the modern era, culminating with the changes introduced by the Second Vatican Council.
