ABSTRACT
In Chapter 1 we considered the reforming work of popes up to the time of Trent and in Chapter 2 we looked at the involvement of the papacy with the Council between 1545 and 1563. We shall now examine the part played by popes in the implementation of the Tridentine measures in the second half of the sixteenth century and then turn to review the work of bishops in renewing the religious life of their dioceses, culminating in the activity of Carlo Borromeo at Milan.
