Trentino (March it was transferred)

THE March, 1547, it was transferred to Bologna, but was reopened at Trent, by Pope Julius III., May 1, 1551. It was broken up, Jan. 18, 1562, in consequence of the victorious advance of the Elector Moritz, but was recalled by Pope Pius IV., Dec. 4, 1563, and reached its close, at its 25th session, Dec. 4, 1563. Its decrees and canons, which were confirmed by a bull of Pius IV., Jan. 26, 1564, are drawn up with much clearness and precision, though the doctrines of the Protestants are often exaggerated or falsified. They were immediately acknowledged in Spain, Portugal, Italy, Poland, and Catholic Germany, and, in their doctrinal part, in France.
