	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Thomas Cardinal Wolsey
		When Sir Richard died in 1507, Wolsey became one of the court chaplains, and was befriended by the influential Bishop of Winchester, Richard Fox.
		At this time the pope was endeavouring to raise a crusade against the Turks, and Wolsey adroitly succeeded in effecting a universal peace to which the pope and emperor as well as Francis and Charles were parties.
		The new pope, Adrian VI, died on 14 Sept., 1523, and again Wolsey was a candidate for the papacy.

	Thomas Wolsey - LoveToKnow 1911
		Thomas was educated at Magdalen College, Oxford; but the details of his university career are doubtful owing to the defectiveness of the university and college registers.
		Wolsey's assistance helped Charles V. to that position of predominance which was strikingly illustrated by the defeat and capture of Francis I. at Pavia in 1525; and the balance of power upon which England's influence rested was destroyed.
		An inscription on a contemporary portrait of Wolsey at Arras calls him the author of the divorce, and Roman Catholic historians from Sanders downwards have generally adopted the view that Wolsey advocated this measure merely as a means to break England's alliance with Spain and confirm its alliance with France.

	Thomas Cardinal Wolsey at AllExperts
		Wolsey, aware of the diplomatic complexities and facing a physical threat to his own life should he grant the annulment himself, the case being that the Pope was reluctant to grant the annulment, was slow in arranging the request.
		Wolsey knew the risks of climbing the political ladder, and when the king expressed his enthusiasm about an invasion of France, and despite moral and economic reservations, Wolsey was able to adapt to the king's mindset and exploit the war as much to his own benefit as possible.
		Wolsey effectively used his position in the church for his own ends, such as awarding bishoprics to those Wolsey sought to keep loyal to the crown, illustrated by the appointment of Cardinal Campeggio to Bishop of Salisbury, in 1524, as a means of securing Campeggio's role as papal curia for England.

	Thomas Wolsey
		It was a bold policy for Wolsey, for, having incurred the jealousy of the nobility by his power, he had aroused the hostility of the people by financial exactions, and he provoked the enmity of all by the extravagant pomp with which he surrounded himself on all his public appearances.
		Wolsey did not wish Henry to marry Anne, but he was not averse to ridding himself of Katherine's adverse political influence, for her sympathy with her nephew the emperor caused her to dislike Wolsey's French policy.
		As she could count on the sympathy of both pope and emperor the king despatched Wolsey to persuade the French king to bring sufficient pressure to bear on the pope to counteract the influence of Charles.

	Thomas Wolsey
		The election of Charles V as emperor in 1519 brought the rivalry between him and Francis I to a head, and Wolsey was mainly responsible for the attitude adopted by the English government.
		Charles, however, paid Wolsey the sincere compliment of thinking that he would not be sufficiently subservient on the papal throne; while he wrote letters in Wolsey's favor, he took care that they should not reach their destination in time; and Wolsey failed to secure election both in 1521 and 1524.
		The control of the papacy by Charles V, moreover, made it impossible for Wolsey to succeed in his efforts to obtain from Pope Clement VII the divorce which Henry VIII was seeking from Charles V's aunt, Catherine of Aragon.

		Wolsey was a cardinal and statesman, Henry VIII's lord chancellor and one of the last churchmen to play a dominant role in English political life.

		When A. Pollard described Wolsey's position as "greater than that of a Prime-Minister today" and that "It was the King and the King alone who kept England on the course he had mapped out[13]" he was both right and wrong.
		Wolsey's role possessed with it, without a doubt, the greatest amount of power a non-sovereign has possessed in history, and it would be wrong to believe that he had no influence on the King's aims.
		Wolsey was an advisor to the King and no doubt influenced many decisions in his years as chancellor, however Henry was, at all times, King and ruler of England.

		From 1513 to 1529, the domestic and foreign policy of the young Henry VIII was virtually controlled by Thomas Wolsey, a butcher's son from Ipswich who had risen from nothing by sheer intelligence, energy and ambition.
		But Wolsey had risen only because he was able to deliver what Henry yearned for – glory and war – and he would survive only if he could continue to deliver what Henry wanted.
		However, the Holy Roman emperor – and Catherine's nephew – Charles V had the pope under siege in Rome, and Wolsey, for all his cleverness and confidence, was unable to persuade the pontiff to agree to the annulment.
