Did he even have a favorite son out of all his kids... He ignored most of them, helped a few because he was asked to...
His favorite daughter on the other hand was Athena, I think...

We're sort of skirting around the reformation in history doing about Henry VIII. My teacher told me that the "real" name of the 95 theses is "95 theses on the power and efficacy of indulgences" so I'll go with C. though I suppose selling of indulgences really links into the corruption of priests. With Cardinal wolsey being the best example (mainly cos I'm studying him right now) of Pluralism, absenteeism (he was archbishop of york but never went there once in his life) simony and nepotism. To summise though C.
