“This should be adequate, more than adequate really, to show that the initial statement was NOT a lie, was NOT an anti-Catholic phony, false, made-up quote falsely ascribed to Trent...”

Except that it was a phony quote and only appears in anti-Catholic works.
It includes no context whatsoever - especially the previous sentences - which would show a completely different understanding of the text.
It was not issued by the full Council of Trent but by a committee.

Thus, the quote is a distortion using a particular translation (”that book”) made to attack the Church. It was adopted only by anti-Catholics to provoke the worst possible reaction; it was seriously taken out of context (and anti-Catholics never seem to care about context).
