Yes - Catholic emancipation was allowed in 1829. A little bit of trivia is that everyone knows that the last time royal assent was refused was by Queen Anne over the Scottish Militia Bill. George III threatened to refuse royal assent the first time catholic emancipation was mentioned to him, which was why it took so long to happen.
Disraeli was a Jew who converted to the COE.
The Bill of Rights states that only a protestant who doesn't marry a catholic can take the throne.

Yes. The Monarch may not be a Catholic nor may they marry a Catholic but there's nothing that extends to the PM. Blair is nominally CofE and for that reason the hierarchy had to tell him to stop taking Communion when he attends Mass with his Catholic wife and kids.

Catholics have to go to Confession and admit their sins..Tony Blair is not a full Catholic only married to a Catholic. Maybe it the Confessional that's puts him off going the whole way.

There is no religious bar to becoming PM. Disraeli ( Note the spelling!) was indeed Jewish, and there are plenty of Catholic MP's, any one of whom could be elected as Leader of his/her Party, win a General Election, and thus become PM. ( I take it you meant "overwhelmingly"?).

any religion is fine. Disreali was Jewish, I think. It's only the monarch that "can't" be a catholic, though precisely what they'd do if Charlie were to convert is a mystery to me.
