In this episode of The Pilgrim's Interests, we explore how the Reformation didn't just create new Protestant branches but also transformed the Catholic Church itself. Join host Blake Hart as we dive into the Council of Trent and the Counter-Reformation, examining the major reforms and doctrinal clarifications that reshaped Catholicism in response to the Protestant challenge. We'll discuss the key figures, doctrinal changes, and how the Catholic Church sought to address its flaws, ultimately emerging as a more unified and disciplined institution. Discover the distinct difference between pre- and post-Tridentine Catholicism and how the Reformation's ripple effects were felt far beyond the Protestant world.
