Summary/Abstract: Almost by necessity as a belated response to the Reformation and out of need to reform the Catholic Church, the Council of Trent (1545–1563) first dealt with defining the disputed truths of faith: the understanding of the Holy Gospel, mercy and acts of redemption, and the sacraments. With reformers’ revocation of intercession through the Church, Pope, bishops,priests, and those opposed to conciliarism in second place, the Council of Trent concentrated on bishop reforms and the liturgical and religious life of the local churches and parishes, along with the catholization of colonized and missionary territories. As rarely any council in history has done,the Council of Trent contributed to Catholic universalization, which some authors call confessionalization, and some Catholic cultural globalization.Catechism, the devotion of the common people and sacred paintings played a crucial role in this movement.
