Counterreformer

According to John Bossy, the Catholic counterreformers attempted to make the parish the primary focus of religious life […]

The council [of Trent] also urged caution in the use of vocal polyphony […] Notably, the counterreformers did not follow Luther and Calvin in advocating congregational song in the vernacular.

This stands in significant contrast, for example, to the Catholic counterreformer Ignatius of Loyola who, in his Spiritual Exercises, requires that the retreatant consider the idea that God created the whole world for her.
