Well, yeah but they didn't have an apartheid like system in Hispanic America post independence.Ever heard of the Spanish Empire?

Like, Catholicism becomes a bit less decentralized with regional "Popes" who fight corruption an make sure preachers know they're stuff or something. I am still figuring it out, but generally Calvinism and the Puritans don't exist with their emphasis on the old testament and using it as an example to survive in the new world.It depends on what you mean by mass Catholic Reformation?
limpieza de sangre says it all

Well, I could use some help in this as I need to butterfly away Protestantism without heavily affecting the development of the enlightenment and industrialization. Like I am aware that you don't need to be Protestant for industrialization(Belgium), but I think...you might need the enlightenment for industrialization.Spain was the home of Bartolome de las Casas as well as Torquemada (who was himself a converso who knew apostasy was more likely in converts).
That sounds dangerously difficult.
You say that but it was the mestizos who were some of the hardest campaigners for bringing the inquisition to the new world to combat corrupt Dominicans and nobles. Because the Inquisiton might be Jerks, they at least ensured the law was followed (better than it was). So regionalizing "popes" just sounds like a way for the corrupt local nobles to give licenses to oppress the natives harderLike, Catholicism becomes a bit less decentralized with regional "Popes" who fight corruption an make sure preachers know they're stuff or something.

Well, I am still figuring it out, but how would no Protestantism affect northern north America ans south Africa, plus the scientific racism and eugenics movements? Which seemed to be only a big thing in Protestant countries, according to my knowledge.You say that but it was the mestizos who were some of the hardest campaigners for bringing the inquisition to the new world to combat corrupt Dominicans and nobles.

The Pope would never give up his power or really ever admit that he or the Roman church is wrong in anything. They're the ones who burned Tyndale and declared Wycliffe a heretic, fought the Hussites and other reform movements. The likelihood of them reforming without something major forcing it seems remote. But that's one person's opinion. The only way to force the Catholic church to maybe, possibly, remotely admit it needs to change would be if Ireland, England, Scotland, ALL Germanic-speaking lands, all Slavic lands all leave the Catholic church and stay out of the Catholic church, leaving only Italy, France, Spain, Portugal, and the micro-states. Then there's a better than 5% chance they might reform something.Like, Catholicism becomes a bit less decentralized with regional "Popes" who fight corruption an make sure preachers know they're stuff or something.

Well, again it seems that aside from religion, the Catholics tolerated other ethnicities, where as Protestant American settlers didn't tolerate the Natives even if they converted into Christianity, like this one tribe( who's name I can't recall) that was totally assimilate into Western culture, but the militia still massacred them, not to mention that the South US and south Africa had segregation/apartheid, while Catholics/Latin countries didn't do that. Usually Catholicism emphasized converting people as they set up Churches and tried to mix native beliefs with Catholicism( dia de los muertos anyone?). They even studied the traditions and languages of the Natives.I don't see that Catholics would be lesser racist than Protestants. Spaniards expelled all Jews and Muslims (clearly racist act) and there was several racist regimes speciality on 20th century. And in many Catholic countries is ultranationalist/racist parties/people.
And racism has always been part of human kind. And whites not be only ones who can be such.
