you posted, in part: “the canonization of ... and Martin Luther King Jr.”

I was not aware that the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., a Baptist, was eligible for canonization by the Roman Catholic Church.

Am I right or wrong?

To the best of my knowledge it would be highly unlikely/unusual for a non-Catholic to be recognized as a saint by the RCC, but not impossible.

I could be wrong.

If the Pope had his way it would be on the agenda, but there may be a fork in his tenure before long.
