Why was Johnathan Swift considered a hero by Protestants and Catholics?

Johnathan Swift was not considered a hero by Catholics. He was a staunch defender of Protestantism and the Church of England and was strongly opposed to Catholicism. This was reflected in his writings, particularly "A Tale of a Tub" and "The Drapier's Letters," which satirized Catholic practices and beliefs. As a result, he was highly regarded by Protestants but not by Catholics.
