Spanning three sessions and the pontificates of five popes from 1545 to 1563, it somehow managed to pull through one of the most tumultuous and deadly times in Church history to shine forth as a beacon of Catholic orthodoxy over and against numerous errors. It also served to codify and, where necessary, reform Church discipline and practice so as to grant a new life to the Church as a bulwark against all her enemies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this volume of \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Canons and Decrees of the Council of Trent\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e, originally published in 1941, Fr.
