Excerpts from Books and Wikipedia
"The council was convened three times between 1545 and December 1563, in the city of Trento (Trent) on the Adige River in Italy, by three different popes--Paul III, Julius III, and Pius IV. . . . New self-confidence took form in grand Baroque churches, and renewed missionary zeal found expression in the spread of new religious orders such as the Jesuits and the Capuchins." [Furtado: 1001 Days]
