Answer:

Council of Trent

Step-by-step explanation:

Council of Trent was an ecumenical meeting of the Catholic Church held from December 13, 1545 to December 4, 1563 with the aim of discussing the means necessary to carry out a reform in the Catholic Church due to the Protestant reform that was initiated by Martin Luther against sale of indulgences established by the Catholic Church.

This meeting was interrupted several times, due to political and even religious intrigues, but it ended with the decision of the Catholic Church to end the activities of selling indulgences across Europe.
