Doctrine, pre-and-post reformation

[NMHS]

While I was reading tonight I had a question arise that I thought I would post here. I am currently in the long process of studying the history of the Catholic Church. What teachings or doctrine of the Church (if any) occured after the reformation that was not in place before the reformation? Thanks, Caleb

What teachings or doctrine of the Church (if any) occured after the reformation that was not in place before the reformation?

The Church teaches constantly.

Of course, the Church cannot invent any new doctrine, but She can more fully define and explain doctrines.

The biggest event since the reformation was the Council of Trent - the uber Council. The purpose of Trent was mainly to correct errors of the reformation.

Acting outside the usual Ordinary Magesterium, The Church has formally defined the doctrines of Papal Infallibility (Vatican I) and the Immaculate Conception and the Assumption of Mary.

Those are the “biggies.” Lots of smaller things, such as defining that the Church has no authority to ordain women (but that was taught via the Ordinary Magesterium, so it’s not as, um, extraordinary).

As David said, there are some things formally defined after the Reformation, but all Catholic doctrine flows from the single deposit of faith left us by Christ and His Apostles. Their foundation has been built upon, the mustard seed has blossomed and continues to do so until the end of this age.
