From the Inside Flap

The Council of Trent, which spanned the pontificates of five popes, shone as a beacon to all the world, condemning errors of the Protestant Reformation and making pronouncements on a vast number of Church doctrines and disciplines.

This reprint of Fr. Schroeder's translation of The Canons and Decrees of the Council of Trent elucidates for contemporary Catholics the momentous accomplishments of this council. Simultaneously, it demonstrates the authority and clarity with which the Church makes her official pronouncements. It covers such topics as:

* Indulgences

* Justification

* The Eucharist

* Transubstantiation

* Penance

* Extreme Unction

* Marriage

* Holy Orders

* Original Sin

* Purgatory

* Veneration of Saints & Relics

* The nature of the Mass

* The Nicene Creed

* The Authenticity of the Latin Vulgate

and many more!

The Council also called for a revised Breviary, a formal catechism (the Catechism of the Council of Trent) and the standardization of the Roman Missal. It is universally regarded as the greatest of the twenty-one Ecumenical Councils of the Catholic Church.

About the Author

The Council of Trent, held in the sixteenth century, was one of the Church\'s most important Ecumenical Councils. It was presided over by Popes Paul III, Julius III, and Pius IV. The Council played a major role in the Counter-Reformation against Martin Luther\'s principles and was itself a significant reform conference. Its main objectives were to condemn the doctrines of Protestantism, effect a reformation in the Church\'s discipline, make known the fact that the Church\'s interpretation of Scripture is final, and define the relationship of faith and works in relation to salvation. Also an important point of discussion was the Real Presence and sacrificial nature of the Eucharist. The Council of Trent convened in 1545 and ended in 1563.

This is the first complete translation of the documents of the Council of Trent (1545-1563) including the bulls of convocation, the opening and closing addresses to the Council Fathers, the documents of deliberation and the canons of the council. Dominican Father J. J. Schroeder began this work in the 1930s after completing a volume of translation of the decrees of all the ecumenical councils, but reserved the documents of the Council of Trent to one volume because of the sheer volume of the deliberations and definitions. This he published in 1941 with the complete Latin text as well as the English translation. The 1978 edition by TAN publisher only reports the English translation of 1941.

As far as this TAN edition is concerned, the publication data is 1978, but the edition that I have is obviously a reprint. I say obvious, for the book contains some elements that are post-2000 such as the 13-ISBN number and the bar-code. Unfortunately, TAN does not provide us with reprint information; it is Amazon that lets us know that the book was reprinted in 2009.

The text is fully annotated with Shroeder's critical apparatus. Footnotes are made in keeping with earlier editions of Denzinger, for example, rather than with the updated versions now available. What is especially helpful in the book is a thorough index of terms and persons given at the end of the volume in 15 pages.

Just a word on that translation. Some terminology changed between 1941 and 1978. For instance, it was common among English-speaking Catholics to speak of the "Holy Ghost" in the 1940s, but by the 1970s most used the term "Holy Spirit", which is actually closer to Latin usage. There would be other examples as well, but they should not lead to any confusion. The reader will make allowances, no doubt.

"The Canons and Decrees of the Council of Trent," translated and introduced by H. J. Schroeder, is an important reference tool for those who teach or study Catholic history and the development of doctrine.

Really interesting history and sheds light upon many of the issues of current times. There are many historical parallels. I'm looking forward to reading other pieces of literature contemporary with the document (s), including the pieces by Copernicus and Agrippa.

Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2014
Does an excellent job of denouncing the so-called heresies of the Protestants and clarifying what the RC Church's positions on it are. Sacred tradition, sacraments, salvation, and justification are my favorites.

If possible, try to learn Latin so you can read it in its original format. Latin is a truly beautiful language.
