the Counter-Reformation — a
name given by historians to the movement for reform within the Roman Church
(much stimulated by the Reformation) and the measures taken to combat the
spread of Protestantism and to regain lost ground. It is usually reckoned to
extend from the mid-16th cent, when the Council of Trent (1545—63) strengthened
and reawakened the life and discipline of the Church, until the time of the
Thirty Years War (1618—48). [BD]
