Concilium Tridentinum Council of Trent

Concilio di Trento — Konzil von Trient

 

 

The Council met for twenty-five sessions between 13 December 1545 and 4 December 1563, though sessions nine, ten and eleven were held in Bologna in 1547.

Counted as the Nineteen Ecumenical Council by the Catholic Church, the Council of Trent is not regarded as ecumenical by the Orthodox or Oriental Orthodox Churches.
Obviously, as the council — the embodiment of the Counter-Reformation — was convoked to deal with Protestantism and its innovations and heresies, Protestants by definition reject it.
