During the Catholic Reformation, the Catholic Church made several changes, including:

A) It imposed penalties for corruption among the clergy.

The Catholic Church responded to the challenges raised by the Protestant Reformation by addressing internal issues, such as corruption within the clergy. Efforts were made to impose penalties and enact reforms to combat abuses and corruption among the church hierarchy and clergy. Additionally, the Church sought to reinforce traditional teachings and practices through various means, including the Council of Trent rather than substantially revising or altering core beliefs.
