The Fifth Council of the Lateran, held between 1512 and 1517, was the eighteenth ecumenical council of the Catholic Church and was the last council before the Protestant Reformation and the Council of Trent. It was convoked by Pope Julius II with a political motive of restoring peace between warring Catholic rulers and to assert the authority of the Pope, but under Pope Leo X also attempted various institutional and social welfare reforms.
