Catholic Blair? Catholic Pre-Raphaelites?

Tony Blair to become Catholic Deacon?, asks The Anchoress
There's talk afloat that when he leaves office, Tony Blair may not simply become a Catholic, but that he may become a Permanent Deacon, as well
Athos of The Three Massketeers has an interesting new theory about the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood
But the most important piece of evidence that the PRB was not merely a romantic sigh for a lost Medievalism, I think, is the first point above. It was the Brotherhood's agreement to cloak their identity in a kind of counter-Protestant Reformation mentality, artistry, and loyalty. It was just sufficiently obscure and forthright that a curious investigator could easily connect the historical "dots" but most would not.
He does raise an interesting point. Any art scholars out there?
