"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."

Being "catholic" in Europe is a joke
BTW officially 3 million Catholics ( due to immigration from Southern Europe in the 1970's) and 2.7 Protestants ..

Dueling websites. Mine says Protestant; yours says RC.
The RC population has grown in the past 15 years due to RC immigrants from Italy, Spain and Portugal.
Wonder if those RCs are illegal as so many are in this country?

Geneva It seems Natural Law is correct in that the population of Catholics exceeds the population of Protestants. What is left unsaid is that the increase in Catholics is due to immigration of Catholics and for no other reason.
