Council of Trent Decisions Quiz

About this quiz

What you’ll practice

This quiz targets the Council of Trent’s major decisions—what was affirmed, what was reformed, and what was clarified in response to Reformation-era debates.

Expect a mixed-difficulty spread: straightforward identifications (e.g., sacraments, Scripture and Tradition) alongside finer points on discipline, clergy training, and liturgical standardization.

Format and difficulty controls

Each question comes with 4 options and there’s no timer, so you can read carefully and learn as you go.

Set your run by choosing the question count and difficulty before you start; “Mixed” blends easier recall with tougher distinction questions to keep the challenge balanced.

Common pitfalls to avoid

Mixing up doctrinal definitions with disciplinary reforms (what is taught vs. what is regulated)
Attributing later Church developments to Trent when they weren’t part of its decrees
Confusing Trent’s stance on Scripture and Tradition with “Scripture alone” debates
Overgeneralizing indulgences: reform and regulation vs. outright rejection
Missing vocabulary cues (canon, decree, anathema) that signal the type of decision

How the quiz stays fair

You’ll see repeated core themes from different angles, which rewards understanding rather than memorization. Harder items are balanced with anchoring questions on the most central Trent outcomes, so you can build confidence while still being pushed on details.
