Explanation:

The Reformation, whose objective was to prevent the advance of Protestants doctrine, started in 1545 with the Council of Trent. The Catholic Church wanted to preserve its presence and territory so it expulsed Protestants and presented new documents for religious reconfigurations with the foundation of seminars, appropriated protestant land and started unorthodoxy trials. They created Roman Inquisition, reform religious orders, surveillance of spiritual movements to connect people with priest and Christ, etc.
