Stockpiled weapons???

[Paul Mackin]

Thanks, Vaska. Good to see you again. So it was Jules from whom the
Catholic upbringing thing comes. Does anyone else ever mention it as 
well. Always nice to have corroboraton. Yes, the little tyke is a problem
for Catholics. That damned  St. Luke. Yet I do love that Chritmas scene in
GR.

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.
