Everything was at stake – from the existential threat of Protestantism, to the dogmas, the Liturgy, and the praxis of the Church. The council lasted eighteen years, was the prelude to the Counter Reformation and exerted an incalculable influence on the Church, and indeed on the whole of Christendom, for the next four hundred years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Canons and Decrees of Trent are an indispensable guide to what the Church infallibly holds to be true on every major and historically disputed doctrine, with definitive clarifications of the Church's position on the Creed, and such dogmas as Justification, Original Sin, Purgatory, Holy Orders, and the Eucharist. This edition is the first and only one to present the original Latin and the English translations as parallel texts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe English translation is by Fr. Henry Joseph Schroeder OP (1875 – 1942), a world-renowned authority on the Ecumenical Councils and, at the time of his death, professor at the Dominican House of Studies in River Forest, Illinois.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFORMAT\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHardcover, one volume, Latin and English on facing pages\u003cbr\u003eDimensions: 29 × 20 × 3.5 cm (11.4 × 7.9 × 1.4 in)\u003cbr\u003eWeight: 2.12 kg (4.7 lb)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Saint Austin Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41519020146775,"sku":"6118","price":59.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/7932\/8599\/files\/WhatsAppImage2026-08-26at2.58.41PM.jpg?v=1788795717","url":"https:\/\/www.saintaustinpress.com\/products\/canons-and-decrees-of-the-council-of-trent","provider":"The Saint Austin Press","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
