Resolutions
Reform was high on the agenda. On the issue that had sparked the Reformation—the selling of indulgences—the council abolished indulgence sellers and halted some of the worst abuses.
In addition, the council passed numerous measures to halt clerical corruption. Acknowledging that Luther’s revolt had been prompted by the “ambition, avarice, and cupidity” of clergy, it called for leaders to avoid “even the smallest faults.” Many abuses were condemned, such as holding several cathedral churches, offering favors to relatives, and having mistresses.
Interesting Delusion of Patrick j Miron #8765
[Never forget dear friends that we MUST ALWAYS separate “the Church” {Mother Church ‘ the Bride of Christ} from Her members.
WE CAN SIN; the CHURCH CANNOT! “One Holy” -Catholic Church is the reality and the foundation of our faith-beliefs.
