Looking at the date of the Council of Trent, I'd like to suggest that the Pope and a whale of a lot of Catholic rulers kind of disposed of whatever doctrines it supported when they signed on to the Treaty of Westphalia.

It was such a political thing anyway, and Westphalia resolved the political issues.

There could be some RCs around who think Trent continues to have legitimacy of some sort, but they forgot what came next ~ The Thirty Years War ~

You talk about the Thiry Years War like the Catholics got the wrong end of the stick there. lol. Catholics nearly wiped out every Calvinist from the face of Europe.
