The Counter-Reformation was a Catholic revival that began with the Council of Trent (1545-1563) and aimed to address the Protestant Reformation. It included reforms in church practices, the establishment of new religious orders like the Jesuits, and efforts to reaffirm Catholic doctrine. This period played a crucial role in revitalizing the Catholic Church and shaping Europe's religious landscape.
