Ecumenical council of the Catholic church held in discontinuous sessions between 1545-1563 in response to the Reformation?. Specified clearly Catholic doctrines on salvation, the sacraments and the canon, in opposition to the Protestants, and standardised the Mass throughout the church, largely abolishing local variations; this became called the Tridentine Mass, after Trent.
