		At the same time, the property franchise in Ireland was tightened, reducing the total number of voters (and thus voting Roman Catholics), though it was later loosened in successive Reform Acts.
		In fact many minor issues remained, and a succession of further reforms were introduced over time, leaving the Act of Settlement as one of the few provisions left which still appears to discriminate against Roman Catholics, and then only those who wish to be King or Queen.

	An Act for the Relief of His Majesty’s Roman Catholic Subjects [13 April 1829]
		The technical exclusion of Roman Catholics from parliament derived from the compulsory oaths of allegiance and supremacy, as reformulated at the Revolution, which denied the spiritual and ecclesiastical supremacy of foreign princes and prelates, and from the compulsory declaration against transubstantiation, the invocation of saints and the sacrifice of the Mass.
		Roman Catholics had also been excluded from civil office and in England from commissions in the armed forces (though there was considerable confusion about the state of the law with regard to the latter category) by the oaths of allegiance and supremacy.
		As can be seen, the act repealed these technical disqualifications and formally permitted Roman Catholics to sit in Parliament, vote at elections and hold civil and military office subject to the new compound oath which replaced for these purposes the old oaths of allegiance, supremacy and abjuration.
