What I found most interesting was that people long ago thought of sacraments as “rituals” and since they had a multitude of rituals, it made it seem like there was more than the original seven sacraments we have today. Other things, like praying the rosary and other devotions were named sacramentals. The part I found most thoughtful was that it maintained its context around sacraments, and making us realize that it is a big part of our Catholic devotion to God. They stressed the importance of sacraments in our lives and that they lead to us closer to God. In particular, the council emphasized the sacraments as causes of grace and declared that the sacraments were necessary for salvation.

The church finally stated that are only seven sacraments. This reaffirmed what the Council of Lyons had taught many years prior in the response of the era that identified the many rituals as "sacraments".
Then, it stated that the sacraments were causes of grace and the importance of them for salvation.
It also stated that the sacraments convey deep meaning and grace in and or themselves.

The leaders of the church felt overwhelmed and attacked by the reformers. But, since they saw this as being a serious issue, they created "The Council of Trent", which was convened in 1545 and from there they met on and off until 1563.

One of the major complaints of the reformers was that the church took a casual attitude toward popular superstitions about religious matters. Because of these matters, essential beliefs such as grace and faith became distorted.
To fix this issue the Count of Trent first complied with assisting with the abuses of the church and then it reinstated that the grace of God is a gift and can never be bargained for.

Catholic devotions other than the seven sacraments like the rosary were termed sacramentals.
Sacramentals are religious practices or holy objects used in religious practices that can be spiritually enriching but that are less central to Catholic Christian faith than the seven official sacraments.

Between 1123 and 1517, the church began its Protestant Reformation which started out as an attempt to reform the Christian church from within. Martin Luther who was a German professor of Theology, started a protest about the reformation of the church. Which later brought nine Church officials to speak about the clerical and political abuses in the Church. But, however these reforming issues were to no avail.
