And I've noticed Roman Catholic apologists just make stuff up

And this from a believer in Calvinism and the Westminster Confession of Faith and in the King James Bible. May I enquire if you really intend to be this funny or if it is unintentional?

One of them recently said Geneva was predominantly Roman Catholic, but I just linked them to the fact that Geneva is predominantly Protestant.

Untrue. You linked to a site which stated that Geneva is predominantly Protestant. http://www.swissinfo.ch/eng/specials/religion_in_switzerland/Geneva:_Protestant_in_mind_but_not_in_body.html?cid=42438 says that:

The city of Calvin may have been one of the birthplaces of the Reformation but Geneva ceased to be home to a Protestant majority a long time ago.

Catholics now outnumber them more than two to one, but this does not stop many from claiming that Geneva remains Protestant at heart.

Oh, Dr. E., please tell me how it is possible to get so much so wrong so consistently. Geneva took centuries to recover from the destruction that Calvin wrought upon it. It took Rousseau to crack open the coffin of despair that Calvin buried Geneva in.

Fact doesn’t matter anymore. This is like watching the network news. Occasionally they are correct.
