The shaping of modern seminary institutions was a literal final result of Roman Catholic reforms of the Counter-Reformation after the Council of Trent.  This reform asserted on the enrichment of the teaching of clergy by means of producing seminaries as live-in institutions which would be below the strict command of senior clergy.  The conception of secondary seminaries to prepare young boys for the priesthood accompanied this first movement.  A seminary model called the Tridentine was that of a live in monastic community where lifestyle and entreaty were closely monitored and disciplined as a means to reclaiming pre-Reformation maltreatments among the clergy OnlineSeminary .  The seminaries were very often in contrast to the more loose and unbound life styles of the universities.   There was a much greater vehemence was settled on personal discipline as well as the instruction of philosophy to ready for theology.  Protestant reformists of the day despised this approach.Other Christian denominations, including contemporary American Judaism, have since embraced and conformed the Tridentine model of the seminary.  These seminaries are more clear than the Tridentine and frequently do not contain the Catholic insistence on the imposed study of philosophy and the essential to reside on campus within the Christian community of the seminary.
