One of the major issue with the catholic church was their sale of indulgences. Yet they were still allowed to be sold after the counter reformation. What changes did the catholic church make.
Also, when did the church start banning the sale of indulgences?
*is Catholic*
We still have indulgences today. Indulgences never could be sold and there was always a ban on doing that. By the time of the 16th century there was a lot of confusion on what indulgences where and it could look like they were being sold, what with certain means of offering them.
Here, briefly is how an indulgence works: It forgives the PUNISHMENTS due to sin, but it does not forgive the sin. A sinner would go to confession and would be absolved of their sins. Then they would receive a penance to work off the temporal punishment that still remains. An indulgence said that you may do X instead. One of the things that X often was in the late middle ages was the giving of money to build a church.

As for the Catholic Reformation (that is what we call it, Protestants call it the Counter Reformation), it cleaned up a lot of the vagueness, consolidated the Vatican's control over erring Bishops who weren't teaching the faith and produced the Catechism of Trent as part of a major push to get people to understand what the Catholic faith was all about.

I was doing an AP European History essay and I wrote the "The Catholic Reformation, also known as the Counter Reformation..." and my teacher told me it's not the same thing. Can anyone explain the differences?
The Counter Reformation is generally seen as the Roman Catholic reaction to the Protestant reformation; primarily via the Council of Trent (From 13 December, 1545, and concluding on 4 December, 1563). Trent is often referred to as the Counter Reformation Council.
From my research there is no one point in history that can be pointed to as the Catholic Reformation. The term Catholic Reformation is problematic in the sense the Catholic Church has been reforming itself since the beginning. Because men are in control of the Church, errors in practice and discipline have crept in at times over the centuries. The Catholic Church has since the beginning held Ecumenical Councils where leaders (bishops and cardinals) met to interpret God's will on faith, and morals. Each of these councils in essence reformed some aspect of the Church.
Examples: it was at the 1st Vatican Council(8 December, 1869, through 20 October, 1870) that the Roman Catholic Church declared that the Pope was infallible when speaking on faith and morals. Many in the Church viewed this as new - reformed doctrine; More recently with the Second Vatican Council (1962 - 1965) there were sweeping changes in liturgy and other issues. Now, over forty years later the Church of Rome is re-visiting those changes.
Best of luck!

Answer above is completely wrong.
The Catholic Counter Reformation was in response to Martin Luther's Protestant Reformation. The Catholics hoped to get the Protestant leaders to reunite with the Catholic Church. So they called a council, called the Council of Trent, at the council they talked about the corruptions of the clergy, such as simony, nepotism, pluralism, and absenteeism. Also the sale of Indulgences was put into question. (Indulgences were how families tried to buy their families out of Purgatory.) They talked about clerical education, as many priests didn't know what the Latin words meant that they'd preach. The Society of Jesus was formed, a militant group of Catholics who were set to get rid of Protestantism. Commonly called the Jesuits and there are Jesuit teachers still today. The Inquisition (burning/stoning of heretics) was reinstated.
They were successful in making the Catholic Church better, but not successful in reuniting with the protestants.

ANYONE care to expand?
exam tomorrow.
i'm so screwed.
Many people wanted to stay loyal to the Church, but they recognized that the Church had committed grave errors with the sale of indulgences (among other things).
How you can expand this to answer a page-long essay question, I really don't know.
why were the wars so long and bloody
Because it had split Europe into two religious factions "Protestant & Catholics" The division eventually lead to European wars, civil wars, The killing of Kings(King Charles I), revolts and rebellion.
Hope this helps

In the wake of the horrendous sex abuse scandal which has afflicted the Catholic Church, criticism of Catholicism in its current form has exploded. Certainly much of the criticism comes with good reason, but simultaneously, one can sense that some critics seem to have a few other motivating factors behind their critiques of the Catholic Church, factors unrelated to the scandal itself.
Sun columnist Peter Finocchiaro ‘10 and New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd have both written on this scandal. Given the topic of these columns, you would expect that if you removed any content not directly related to the sex abuse scandal from them, the columns would contain almost nothing. But instead of nothing, you would find a laundry list of complaints about Catholic doctrines or beliefs, complaints often made outside the context of a sex abuse scandal.

O'Malley points out how Jedin saw the Council of Trent as the defining moment for the Catholic Reformation, since it had created, in Jedin's estimation, a pastoral church. As O'Malley states, "For Jedin, the Council of Trent furnished the defining center for the new era of the history of the Catholic Church to be known as 'Catholic Reformation-and-Counter Reformation"' (69).
