The Counter-Reformation was a period of spiritual renewal in response to the Protestant Reformation. The Catholic Church sought to revitalize and reform itself in order to combat the spread of Protestantism. This included the Council of Trent, which clarified Church doctrine and strengthened its authority, and the founding of new religious orders like the Society of Jesus (also known as the Jesuits) who were dedicated to spreading Catholicism around the world. Mannerism, on the other hand, was an artistic movement that emerged during the same period and is not directly related to the Catholic Church's response to Protestantism.
