He was a protestant but he fought for the rights of catholics, particularly getting them a vote. He wanted to break Irelands ties to England and he wanted all Irishmen to be treated equally. Some may think he was on the catholics' side but really he was on noones side, he just wanted equal rights for everyone, regardless of religion.
