Hi Nik.

In my Cabotia and Brasil timeline I am playing with the idea of Martin Luther being cannonized as a Catholic Saint. St Martin Luther, Doctor and Reformer of the Church. I would like to explore the following events, and ask you for an opinion:
 * Giovanni di Lorenzo de' Medici does not become pope in 1513 (Leo X *here*). Someone else does, someone with the political skills of Alexander IV or Julius II.
 * This pope: *Leo X, while not a saint as other popes of the era, is definitively much less corrupt than de Medici.
 * Martin Luther is still disapointed on the Church and the papacy, but not outraged for the way indulgencies and sees are being sold. He eventually shares his Thesis, but with a lower profile.
 * Eventually *Leo X and Martin Luther begin writing eachother and share their points of view. They won't agree but there is no excomunion either.
 * In mid or late 16th century, most Lutherian thesis had been incorporated in the Roman church.
 * Some time in the 18th century, Martin Luther is cannonized.
