Trent, Council of (1545–63). The centrepiece of the
Counter‐Reformation, the council confirmed Catholic doctrine
vis‐à‐vis Protestantism, strengthened ecclesiastical discipline, and attacked superstition in popular culture. Three Irish bishops, Thomas O'Herlihy ( Ross), Donal McGonigle ( Raphoe), and Eugene O'Harte ( Achonry), attended the final session but played no significant role in proceedings. The Tridentine decrees were promulgated in Ireland at provincial synods in Connacht in 1566 and Ulster in 1587.
Their establishment in practice depended on a preaching ministry and catechesis among a literate laity. The final session of Trent suggested diocesan seminaries as the answer to low clerical standards. Pius IV's bull
Dum exquisita (1564) specifically lamented the low educational attainments of Irish priests. Political circumstances dictated that the
Irish colleges be founded abroad. These institutions, especially St Anthony's, Louvain, produced
catechisms, the first printed edition being Bonaventure Ó hEodhasa's
An Teagasg Críosdaithe (1611). Mostly foreign texts adapted for an Irish audience, these reiterated dogma on the creed, sacraments, and commandments, taught correct behaviour at mass and penance, and underlined Tridentine innovations. The state's hostility towards seminary priests and the scarcity of the catechisms amid low levels of
literacy were problems, but Tridentine Catholicism made slow progress even in Catholic‐controlled countries.
