A allowed the pope to choose a king's successor B declared a holy war against anyone deemed to be an enemy of the Church C prohibited priests from giving the sacraments of the Church in an area D forbade certain groups from having children

C. Prohibited priests from giving the sacraments of the Church in an area

Explanation:
