Although it is most apparent in Scotland and Northern Ireland, the rest of the UK, is not exempt from this prejudice. For one, Bonfire night is still a popular event in England, which seeks to remember the Guy Fawkes Gunpowder plot where he attempted to blow up Parliament and King James I. Interestingly, it is now less about the religious and historical aspect but is instead used as a social gathering where people watch fireworks.
Evidently, Catholic bias stems from the Protestant monarchy, even to this day a monarch cannot marry a Catholic according to the Act of Settlement 1701. Although strides have been made in the public sphere, as Catholics are now allowed in public office and universities unlike during the 18th and 19th century, there are still implicit biases shown across the country.
