Summary/Abstract: The Council of Trent is known in particular for its doctrinal resolutions. The gathered fathers, however, were engaged in reforming Church institutions, including essentially issues connected with the pastoral duties of the clergy and preparations suitable for their fulfilment. Within those resolutions the Council realized in practice part of the earlier postulates as well as those formulated at the time by previous critics of Church life. The thesis – which this article illustrates by resorting to examples taken from the Council texts – claiming that the Reformation contributed to a great measure to the emergence of Catholicism as we know it today appears to be justified.
