The Council of Trent (1545) represented the formal response of Roman Catholicism to the Protestant Reformation.  The Roman Catholic Church took a hard line against Protestant reforms, particularly the Five Solae discussed in the notes/lecture.  As discussed in the text and notes/lecture, what were two of the teachings, other than the seven sacraments, that came out of the Council of Trent?

The Council of Trent, held between 1545 and 1563, was one of the most important ecumenical councils held by the Roman Catholic Church. It was convened to respond to the challenges posed by the Protestant Reformation and resulted in significant changes in the Church's teachings and practices. Apart from reaffirming the seven sacraments, two other significant teachings that came out of the Council of Trent are:

1. The affirmation of the existence of Original Sin: The Council of Trent reaffirmed the Church's belief in the existence of Original Sin, which is the state of sin inherited by all human beings as a result of humanity's first disobedience to God. This was in direct opposition to the Protestant belief that humans are capable of choosing to sin or not to sin.

2. The affirmation of the necessity of both faith and good works for salvation: The Council of Trent also taught that both faith and good works are necessary for salvation. This was a direct response to the Protestant teaching of Sola Fide, which asserts that faith alone is sufficient for salvation. The Council of Trent emphasized that while faith is the beginning of human salvation, it is not sufficient on its own; good works are also necessary.
