    The Catholic Reformation was an effort by the Catholic Church to reform itself from within and counter the spread of Protestantism using two main tactics. The Jesuits, founded by Ignatius of Loyola, served the Pope and fought Protestantism through education and training members like soldiers. The Council of Trent from 1545-1563 met to discuss reforms, define official teachings, abolish indulgences, and reject Protestant doctrines, reaffirming only Catholicism as the true religion. The Inquisition from the 1400s-1800s aimed to discover and punish heretics through torture to enforce Catholic doctrine and power.
