About this episode
In continuation of our series on the 21 Ecumenical Councils, Justin Hibbard talks about the Catholic Church’s response to the Protestant revolution: the Council of Trent and the Counter Reformation. What social revolutions were at play that delayed this council from starting? What decisions were made at this 19th ecumenical council? And how did the church continue the counter-reformation after its conclusion?SOCIAL LINKS* Follow Why Catholic on Instagram.* Subscribe to Why Catholic on YouTube.* Follow Justin on Facebook.SOURCES:* Papal Encyclicals: The General Council of Trent* New Advent: The Council of Trent* The Ecumenical Councils of the Catholic Church: A History by Joseph Kelly* Video: General Councils 13: Lateran V and Trent - Fr Timothy Matkin - St Francis Dallas* 95 Theses - Martin Luther* Papal Encyclicals Online: Exsurge Domine - Condemning the Errors of Martin Luther - Pope Leo X - 1520* Papal Encyclicals Online: Decet Romanum Pontificem - Papal Bull of Excommunication of Martin Luther and his followers - Pope Leo X - 1521* Episode 56: Indulgences - The Most Misunderstood Catholic Doctrine* Episode 120: The Deuterocanonicals and Protestant Budget Bibles* Episode 65: From Doctrine to DogmaPREVIOUS EPISODES IN THIS SERIES* Episode 146: Introduction to the 21 Ecumenical Councils* Episode 147: The World that Led to the Council of Nicaea* Episode 148: The First Council of Nicaea (325)* Episode 149: From Nicaea to Constantinople* Episode 1
