"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."Is it like the rest of Europe where they may make it to church for Christmas if the weather is good or they are not too hungover? 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 ..

"Is it like the rest of Europe where they may make it to church for Christmas if the weather is good or they are not too hungover?" The Swiss Catholics are very old school and very devout. But then again, I probably hang around a better class of people than you.

Being "catholic" in Europe is a joke Okay; being Reformed in the United States is lonely. It consists of phone booth cults; all the formerly Reformed mainstream denominations have forsaken Calvin.

( I would not believe in the Gospel if the authority of the Catholic Church did not move me to do so.)
