The nineteenth Ecumenical Council opened at Trent on December 13th, 1545 and closed on December 4th, 1963. It began with Pope Paul III, passed on toPope Julius III and ended with Pope Pius IV

  4. The History The fact this council was divided into sessions that lasted 18 years shows us that the topics discussed were of critical importance to the Church. This council was created for many reasons and while Church leaders focused on different aspects of Catholic faith, there was a focus on discussing the doctrine of our Church; The Holy Bible

  9. The Bible The bible talks about the coming of the Messiah who would restore our relationship with God, nature and with each other. The coming of Christ: Jesus was born of the Virgin, died on the cross, and paid for our sins. Stories of this nature are prophesized in the Old Testament but only realized in the New Testament.

  10. The Bible The Bible looks to the Messiah for the word of God "You search the Scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is these that bear witness of Me," (John 5:39). Forgiveness is found through Jesus, "And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men, by which we must be saved,” (Acts 4:12).
