**Council of Trent, an ecumenical council called to respond to the heresy of the Reformers (1545-1563)
The canon of OT and NT received final definitions: 46 books in the OT; 27 in the NT; “Henceforth the books of the OT and the NT, protocanonical and deuterocanonical alike, in their entirety and with all their parts, comprise the canon and are held to be of equal authority.” The ancient Vulgate edition of the Bible was called the authoritative edition of the Bible.**

Definitely a BIG marker on this timeline!

You seem to have a lot of knowledge regarding the roman catholic church. Could you tell me why were priests allowed to marry for the first millenia and then they were no longer allowed to marry?
