In 1874 Lee founded the Order of Corporate Reunion, an Anglican pro-Papal organisation. He publically converted to Catholicism shortly before his death. In Alfred B. Emden's 1951 list of Hall pictures he refers to Lee as the Bishop of Dorchester. Apparently this was the title Lee took after he was consecrated bishop by a set of Catholic prelates off the coast of Venice in 1877 (an event that was, of course, carried out in secret). The reason for this sea voyage would have been so that the consecration took place outside of any diocese. Lee was concerned that the modern Anglican church had abandoned the literal principle of Apostolic succession.
