How did the Catholic
Church Fight Back?
Standard 7.57 Analyze how the Catholic CounterReformation revitalized the Catholic Church and the
forces that fostered the movement, including St. Ignatius
of Loyola and the Jesuits, and the Council of Trent.
The Catholic/ CounterReformation
It can be assumed that the Catholic Church could
never have predicted the force of the Protestant
Reformation
This is especially so in terms of the numbers of
noblemen and other wealthy individuals who were
attracted to the theology of Luther and Calvin.
In the 1500s and 1600s, Catholics set out to
improve their Church and to stop the spread of
Protestant ideas.
Forces that fostered the Counter
Reformation
Council of Trent
- Between 1545-1563, the Catholic Church held meetings known as the Council of Trent to
address the problems in the Catholic Church brought to knowledge by Martin Luther and other
reformers.
- The council not only instituted reforms, but also a plan to win back supporters of the Catholic
religion.
Ignatius Loyola and the Jesuits
-Soldier and Spanish reformer who sought to create a new religious order
- Founded the Society of Jesus or the Jesuits, formed the backbone of the Counter Reformation
- As a brotherhood, they wanted to win back converts to the Catholic Church
Roman Inquisition
- Alarmed by the spread of Protestantism and especially by its penetration into Italy, Pope Paul
III established in Rome the Congregation of the Inquisition.
- Primary Job: trying and convicting heretics within the Roman Catholic Church
Group Activity
Each group will be in charge of educating the
class on a specific way the Catholic Church
fought back against the Reformation.
Each group will need to analyze a source
document, answer questions, and record 3
bulleted notes explaining their example of how
the Catholic Church fought back against the
Reformation
Directions & Expectations
Document Analysis
As a group, read your source
document and answer the
Comprehension Check Questions
on a separate sheet of paper.
Spend several minutes discussing
the document & questions with
your group. What insight did they
get from the document that
perhaps you missed and vice
versa?
You may use a device/computer to
look up terms BUT utilize context
clues first!
Educating the class
In your group’s box on page
53, record at least 3 bullet

example of how the
Catholic church fought back
