The work of the council was concerned with the organisation of the Church. A seminary was going to be set up for the education of priests in each diocese.

In fact, a council had no authority in Church matters unless called and approved by the residing Pope. Hence, by the time the Fifth Lateran Council closed in 1517, it had failed to reform the abuses that were going on in the Church. The climate was right for the message of the Reformers.
