Now that I think on it, I'm not surprised that it is Pig. 

Pig Bodine, like other male members of the crew, lusts after Paola
(interesting that these men are described as becoming pig-like in their
lust)  and would rape her were it not for intervention of the
Jew/Catholic Benny/Profane who prevents Pig from raping Paola (a profane
fertility no doubt) by cashing in a debt Pig owes him because he
literally saved Pig from (secular) sterility.
