The Catholic Reformation
Captions available
The idea
Paul the Third launched the hard line: the Inquisition in fifteen forty-two, the Council of Trent, and the Jesuits under Loyola from fifteen forty. Doctrine did not move; abuses were corrected; new orders reached the laity.
In practice
Teresa of Ávila reforming the Carmelites from fifteen thirty-five.
Where people slip
Historians now prefer Catholic Reformation to Counter-Reformation, the anchor reports. Neither side held any notion of toleration.
