What was the catholic responses to protestantism?

They did not feel good they excommunicated him.

Explanation: excommunicated means to prevent or to not allow.

The Counter-Reformation, or Catholic Reformation (16th century), emerged within the Catholic Church itself with the aim of containing the advance of Protestantism.

In general, it consisted of a set of measures taken by the Catholic Church with the emergence of Protestant religions. Far from promoting structural changes in the doctrines and practices of Catholicism, the Counter-Reformation established a set of measures that acted in two ways: acting against other religious denominations and promoting means of expanding the Catholic faith.

One of the main measures taken was the creation of the Society of Jesus. Designated as an arm of the Church, Jesuits were to expand Catholicism around the world. With a rigid hierarchical structure, the Jesuits were mainly responsible for the catechization process of the populations of the American and Asian continents. Using a system of regular religious celebrations and routines, the Society of Jesus was able to convert large numbers of people into European colonial territories.
