Answer 1

Correct items to choose:

• The Latin Vulgate was the official version of the Bible to be read.
• Authority lay in Scripture and in the Church.
• All clergy needed to get a proper education.

Further context:

The Council of Trent, held over a span of years from 1545 to 1563, served to reform some abuses that were acknowledged by the Catholic Church. Mostly, though, the Council aimed to assert the full authority of Roman power and doctrine over the Protestant threat. So reaffirming the authority of the pope was a key measure over against Protestants who had challenged that authority.

Weaknesses in clergy education were also addressed by the Council of Trent. The Roman Catechism, also known as the Catechism of the Council of Trent, was commissioned by the Council and was published in 1566, with the intent of thoroughly educating the church's clergy.

Answer 2

Here are the findings of the Council of Trent:
-The Latin Vulgate was the official version of the Bible to be read.
