The Catholic Church was challenged by Martin Luther during the Reformation. This was called the Counter-Reformation. The Catholic Church responded to the Counter-Reformation by creating the Council of Trent. The Council of Trent answered the Protestants disputes. It defined Church teachings in the areas of Scripture and Tradition, Original Sin, Justification, and Sacraments. The Catholic Church architectural looks assigned symbolic meaning. The roof symbolized charity, the floor symbolized the foundation of faith. The columns symbolized Apostles, Bishops, and Doctors, the beams, champions of ecclesiastical right who defended it.=====
