VV(8) - Profane & Fina

[Terrance]

Benny figures that he is the disembodied object of a
corporal work of mercy. 

That's quite a lot of figuring for Benny isn't it? He's not
St. Augustine, St. Francis, or St. Thomas Aquinas after all.
Like Slothrop he is capable of thought that maybe he's not
quite capable of.  Benny doesn't quite know where these
thoughts and actions come from.  His arguments with Church
Fathers and Jesuits, his talking to birds and Alligators,
his pretending to be G-d, his pissing on the sun and
continuing on as an immortal god of a darkened world, his
acting like the Angel of Death tacking contraceptives on the
doors of tomorrow's victims...these deep theological
thoughts and parodic actions seem to happen to him like
woman, like accidents, like his stepping on a beer can and
turning like fortune wheel on the axis of Angel and
Geronimo. 

To disembody is to free the soul or spirit from the body or
to divest of material existence or substance. But Benny is a
disembodied Object. The disembodied Object of a
corporal--being again the body, but also Latin "of the body"
[yes there is the Ulysses Kute Korrespondence, Buck
Mulligan's mock RC Mass--"A little trouble about those white
corpuscle." U.1.20-22]  (the Eucharistic bread being
representative of Christ's body) from corpus. A means to
Grace or Indulgence for Fina. St. Fina is a Catholic girl
and so Indulgences and Grace are RC terms. As is the the
singing of O Salutaris Hostia. 

But Benny figured wrong. 

He's figures out that he has figured wrong by the events
that happen during this chapter. Events that he can't
possibly figure out, I think, because he was sleeping,
drunk, mad, and under the influence. 

Under the influence of what or whom?
