TRENT

Council OF, met in 1545 at Trent, in the Austrian Tyrol; but the wars in Germany caused it to be adjourned to Bologna in 1546. It was convoked again at Trent in 1551, but dispersed on the approach of the Luther ans. It was convoked a third time in 1560, and finished its labours in 1563. Its decrees are embodied in what is known as the Creed of Pius IV.
