Primary effect of Roman Catholic reforms

The shaping of modern seminary establishments was a primary effect of Roman Catholic reforms of the Counter-Reformation after the Council of Trent.  This reform took a firm stand on the enrichment of the instruction of clergy by way of making seminaries as live-in institutions which would be under the immediate hold of ranking clergy.  The conception of minor seminaries to school young boys for the priesthood took after this original movement, Online Seminary .  A seminary model called the Tridentine was that of a live in monastic community where lifestyle and petition were closely monitored and disciplined as a way to reforming pre-Reformation maltreatments among the clergy.  The seminaries were very often in contrast to the more open and independent life styles of the universities.
