A Modest Proposal also reveals to the reader a religious theme, expressed by the sense of disdain of British Protestants towards Roman Catholics, especially the Irish Catholics, often referred as "papist" within the pamphlet. The British enacted laws limiting the ability of Irish innate to thrive and prosper. Ireland was controlled by England, which imposed many taxes upon Irish people and appropriated their resources. By this, this author satirizes the prejudice of Protestants towards Catholics. He writes that "it would greatly lessen the number of papists, with whom we are yearly over-run, being the principal breeds of the nation as well as our most dangerous enemies" (56).
