In the 1600s, the Bishop of Geneva was François de Sales, who served from 1602 until his death in 1622. He is renowned for his work in the Counter-Reformation and for his spiritual writings, including "Introduction to the Devout Life." François de Sales was canonized as a saint in 1665 and later declared a Doctor of the Church. His legacy includes the founding of the Salesians, a religious community dedicated to education and pastoral care.

The areas around Geneva and Wittenberg exemplify the diversity within the Protestant Reformation, with Geneva becoming a stronghold of Calvinism under John Calvin, emphasizing predestination and a disciplined church structure. In contrast, Wittenberg, associated with Martin Luther, focused on justification by faith and the authority of Scripture, laying the groundwork for Lutheranism. These differing theological perspectives not only shaped local religious practices but also influenced broader European Protestant movements. Ultimately, the variations in Protestantism reflected the complex socio-political landscapes of their respective regions.
