No. Pope Leo X was a dissolute person with no interest in reform. He had 683 servants, including the keeper of the papal elephant - his personal pet. He showered patronage on members of his own family and undertook a financially disastrous war in an effort to instal his 'nephew' in the Duchy of Urbino. Having depleted the Vatican treasury, he sold indulgences in order to rebuild St Peter's basilica, indirectly bringing about the Protestant Reformation.
The emperor eventually demanded reform of the Catholic Church, but Leo managed to evade the task for the remainder of his life. Reform of the Catholic Church was a task that fell to Pope Leo's successors.
