Stockpiled weapons???

[Vaska Tumir]

According to Jules Siegal's bio-article from way back when, Pynchon's mother was a staunch Catholic and the children were all raised in the church.  Siegal also describes the young Pynchon as a devoutly practicing Catholic during his Cornell days, at least.  And, given the cult of the Baby Jesus in Catholicism, many a Catholic boy grows up to (shall we say) resent the miraculous tyke -- easy to see why.
