The Counter-Reformation was the response of the Catholic Church to the Protestant Reformation. In terms of meetings and documents, it consisted of the "Confutatio Augustana", the Council of Trent, the "Roman Catechism", and the "Defensio Tridentinæ fidei". In terms of politics, the Counter-Reformation included heresy trials, the exiling of Protestant populations from Catholic lands, the seizure of children from their Protestant parents for institutionalized Catholic upbringing, a series of wars, the "Index Librorum Prohibitorum" (the list of prohibited books), and the Spanish Inquisition.
