A crucial counterreformation document, the council met from 1545-1563 to discuss the ramifications of the Protestant reformation. Due to disagreements over whether a council was necessary or desirous, and a few wars, the council did not meet until right around the death of Martin Luther, twenty-four years after his excommunication.
