Who organized the council of Trent to reform the church?

The Council of Trent was organized by Pope Paul III in response to the Protestant Reformation and the need for reform within the Catholic Church. Convened in 1545, it aimed to address various issues, including church doctrine, practices, and the need for moral reform among clergy. The council played a crucial role in the Counter-Reformation, affirming Catholic teachings and implementing reforms to address corruption and improve the church's image.
