Deo ordini maximo: the council of Trent and Catholic reform(1545-1563)

An essay that maybe can very false and a homage to Catholic Church, but it isn’t, because we must consider that moral condition of Catholic Church was very disastrous, and the motive of Lutheran Reform, helped and supported by economic motives by German principles, has had very much motives to become so great. Then the Church has remedied through a moral and organizational order in his intern questions, and it imposed his discipline also to practical questions, predication, and correction and canonize the Holy Bible, through corrections and interpretations very much strange. Some example is necessary, and I understand that it could interpreter as strong persuasion, but we must consider that the Lutheran Reform was very dangerous and very much persons has took it and has believed it; then was necessary also the childhood was saved by this doctrine, thenin 15^th April was decided about childs: “Bischops aren’t obliged but priest yes, they must current them or priest or other …”, and the Council has forgotten the material churches, in fact: “To edification  every church and to useful of every people, we has ordered that in every cities the word to Presbyterians license has given…” and this wit of order is evident to following words: “if deaconess are worth second Christ is told in gospel…”, this particular attention to moral behavior is necessary to the Church in that time. Moreover to understand the holy words and predications is necessary that the faithful know what holy word said: “In church when results are very poor and where very poor participation, the Presbyterian must teach grammar and theology to poor student, at last the grammar…”, this tradition is present until years 50s of past century in Italy, and this habit is valid to laic but also in the convents: “In the convent where studious is oblige they have simile lessons about the gospel…”; and external to Church: “Healt doctrine to defense and growth of this doctrine. In gymnasiums also public, where isn’t institution of these lessons, principals more religion to pity and charity they must leaded…”. I have given only some point necessary to understand that order in moral behavior and cultural has been very opportune to Council; by now the fail of Catholicism was evident, and it would be happened during other centuries and to other causes, the power has been always valid motive to use both God and men.
