Poorly educated and underpaid clergy provided most people's pastoral care, while a small minority of prelates grew wealthy on the profits of pluralism, simony, and nepotism. The sale of indulgences - which remitted the punishment of sin in Purgatory after death to those willing to pay in life - particularly offended reformers.

Monasteries were in a sad state of decline. Created for those inspired to a life of work and prayer, they had become dumping grounds for inconvenient relatives. A few orders - Franciscan Observants, Carthusians, Bridgettine nuns - still maintained high standards, but most were lukewarm at best.

Renaissance popes (for example the Borgia, Alexander VI and the Medici, Leo X) led lives of greed, corruption and sensuality, and the small taxes to Rome (annates, Peter's pence) were accordingly resented. Cardinal Wolsey offered a home-town example of the same patterns of conduct.Nonetheless, the Church's problems should not be exaggerated. Before the Reformation began, many English parishes were still vibrant centers of worship - guilds, fraternities and sororities flourished; and much money was voluntarily left for funerals and chantries (i.e. endowment of priests to say masses for the dead).

Answer:

The correc answer is that Pope Leo X denied Henry VIII's request for an annulment.

Explanation:

Henry VIII wanted to divorce his first wife Catherine of Aragon because he thought that she could not bear children, and he wanted to marry the younger  Anne Boleyn. Since the Pope and the Catholic Church denied him the annulment, Henry thought that if England were not a Catholic country, then he could divorce his wife. Thus, Henry declared the Church of England separate from the Catholic Church and initiated the English Reformation.

Henry declared himself the Head of the Church of England and granted himself his divorce.

MAVERICK [17]

The correct answer is option D.

After the Seventh Regiment Cavalry gathered and rounded up over 300 Sioux at Wounded Knee Fort, an attempt at disarming them led ultimately to the massacre of more than 300 Sioux. Also about 40 whites died during the incident.

A deaf American Indian, confused by the orders from the soldiers, refused to follow orders thus starting the incident which ultimately would cost the lives of over 350 people, both Sioux and whites.
