'The Counter Reformation' is the name given to the series of actions and changes undertaken by the pope, bishop, and priest to limit the effects of the protestant movement in the 16th and 17th centuries.

Explanation:

The church believed that the protestant movements that were gaining popularity during the 16th and the 17th century had to be restricted in order to retain the faith of the people in the church and in the rituals prescribed by the church. In order to do that, the catholic church began a counter reformation with an intention of the revival of the faith of the people in the catholic church.
