Been to Geneva too. Did you know its predominantly Catholic now?

No, it's not. You're getting Switzerland mixed up with Geneva.

Switzerland is 41% Roman Catholic and 39% Protestant.

However, Geneva is predominantly Protestant.

"No, it's not"

From the wikipedia:

"While Geneva was historically considered a Protestant city, there are over twice as many Roman Catholics (39.5%) as Protestants (17.4%) living in the Canton. 22% of the inhabitants claim no religion. Some did not respond, and the remaining practice Islam (4.4%), Judaism (1.1%), or other religions."
