ON THIS DAY in REFORMATION HISTORY

26 January 1564 – Pope Pius IV accepted and confirmed the decrees of the Council of Trent, including upholding the doctrines of the Mass, the seven sacraments, Purgatory, the celibacy of the priesthood and indulgences. The Council of Trent also asserted that the Bible should not be translated into the language of the people and that only the Roman Church could interpret Scripture.
