The Council of Trent was, perhaps, the most important of the modern General Councils of the Roman Catholic Church. This Council was authorized by the Pope Paul III and opened in the Austrian city of Trent, December 13, 1545. It lasted, with interruptions, until December 4, 1563. The Canons and Decrees of this Council are the church's own authorized confession of its faith and its discipline. The present edition of the above Canons and Decrees contained in this work is a verbatim reprint of the London edition of 1848 by the Roman Catholic Bishop J. Waterworth, without notes, additions or omissions of any kind. - Preface.
