Question

Read the quotation from the Council of Trent in the 1500s. [W]ith God going before us . . . we may . . . deliberate and discuss . . . whatsoever is needful for repelling those assaults of barbarians and infidels, with which they seek the overthrow of all Christendom. What is the quotation most likely about

Answer 1

Answer:

A refusal to accept the spread of Protestantism.

Explanation:

The Council of Trent was the 19th ecumenical council of he Catholic church held at Trent during 1545-63. The council was convened as a result of the rising Protestant Reformation.

The Council determined the path that the Catholic church would take as a recourse to the Reformation. It determined the doctrines that the Catholic church would take regarding the heresies that the Protestants had spread. And in the given quotation from the Council, we can assume that the main purpose was to refuse to accept the spread of the Protestant religion.

Thus, the correct answer is the first option.
