Interesting to think of Andy Warhol as a man of faith. It makes me wonder how many other seemingly entirely secular-minded artists simply didn't want their faith to be in the public spotlight.
Yes, it's hard to know (beyond the normal impossibility of judging anyone's interior life) how much it went beyond the aesthetic influence. But he did go to mass constantly, eagerly meet JPII, etc. Perhaps for him it was also another way of being transgressive, except in a different direction than usual. (And as to your second point, I have to assume the answer is: a lot.)
