I have presented information from numerous sites including the wikipedia...

You mean THIS WIKIPEDIA...?

The country is historically about evenly balanced between Catholic and Protestant, with a complex patchwork of majorities over most of the country. One canton, Appenzell, was officially divided into Catholic and Protestant sections in 1597.[132] The larger cities (Bern, Geneva, Zürich and Basel) are predominantly Protestant

So your evidence does not say Catholicism was historically the predominant faith of Switzerland, and it does say Geneva is "predominantly Protestant."

I invite everyone interested to simply spend ten minutes researching the subject. They will conclude, like I have, that although there have been pockets of Protestant majority since the Reformation, the whole of Switzerland has been predominantly Catholic for the last 1200 years.

Not according to your own reference.

By any objective standard or independent research anyone on these sites can clearly and easily determine what is right and who is lying.

You got that right.

No, I mean this one 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.
