The Counter-Reformation or Catholic Reformation was a movement within the Catholic Church to reform itself, starting with the middle of the sixteenth century, in the wake of the Protestant Reformation.

Such reforms included the foundation of seminaries for the proper training of priests in the spiritual life and the theological traditions of the Church, the reform of religious life to returning orders to their spiritual foundations, and new spiritual movements focus on the devotional life and a personal relationship with Christ, including the Spanish mystics and the French school of spirituality.

Bottom line - it kept most of Europe aligned with the Roman Catholic church by responding to some of the most flagrant abuses within that church.
