Ethan Lopez · Answer 1

The Council of Trent did not approve the sale of indulgences.

The underlying principle of indulgences was upheld - - that the church had authority to grant reprieve to penance or time in purgatory. But the sale of indulgences was stopped.

The Council of Trent served to reform some abuses that were acknowledged by the Catholic Church - - such as the problem of selling indulgences. But mostly the Council aimed to assert the full authority of Roman power and doctrine over the Protestant threat. The Council of Trent held meetings over a span of years from 1545 to 1563.
