I've noticed that "Catholic England" PODs are occasionally discussed on here, but not as much on the other big reformation WI-France becoming Protestant. Firstly, what POD would be required (would Henry IV not converting to Catholicism work, or would something further back be needed), and also what the effects would be (both on European politics/wars, and on the enlightenment-would Voltaire or Rousseau produce substantially different ideas from OTL if they were Huguenots in a Huguenot country?)

EDIT: Just read Rousseau was a Huguenot from Geneva, so he's obviously a bad example:eek:. I do think most of the other French enlightenment philosophers came from Catholic backgrounds, though.
