The Counter Reformation was a
series of actions the Catholic
Church took to counteract the
effects of the Protestant
Reformation.
Action #1:
REFORM
• Council of Trent
– Banned the selling of
indulgences
– Created a code of conduct
for all clergy (priests,
popes, etc.)
– Rejected the Protestant
belief that the church was
not needed to help people
reach salvation
Action #2: EDUCATION
New orders were formed to bring the
focus back to spirituality.

church
• Concentrated on education
as a way to spread
Catholicism
Action #3: CENSORSHIP
The Catholic Church tried to
control information
• Index of Banned Books
– The Catholic Church warned
people not to read certain
books.
– Many were burned to erase the
ideas.
– Protestant churches also
issued lists of banned books
Action #4: INTIMIDATERULE BY FEAR
The Catholic Church punished
non-Catholics in some countries
• The Spanish Inquisition
– Trials that took place mostly in Spain

their beliefs, religious and
