Coincidance - Principia Discordia

It is tempting to consider Archbishop Marcinkus, implicated in the P2
fascist plots in Italy and South America, as an example of a Joycean or
Cain function. Archbishop Romeros, murdered for opposing that fascist
conspiracy, would then be a or Abel function.
Considering the role of ALP in Joycean and Cabalistic symbolism, it is
distinctly odd then that the bank which laundered the cocaine money for P2
was called CisALPine (emphasis added). This was owned chiefly by
Archbishop Marcinkus and "God's banker," Roberto Calvi, found hanged
from Blackfriars Bridge in London on 18 June 1982.
Only the most imaginative would find a hint of Roberto Calvi in Joyce's
"Robman Calvinic" on page 519 of FW.
Still, it is deucedly odd that Licio Gelli, Grandmaster of the P2 Conspiracy,
was also a Knight of Malta. Other recent Knights of Malta, as we have
mentioned, include William Casey of the CIA and Alexander Haig. Another
Knight of Malta, and receiver of the Order's Grand Cross of Merit, was
General Richard Gehlen, a former Nazi who became the CIA's principle
source of espionage within Soviet Russia. According to Baigent, Leigh and
Lincoln in The Messianic legacy, other Knights of Malta include Alexandre de
Marenches, former chief of French Intelligence, Generals de Lorenzo and
Allavena, former chiefs of the Italian secret service and Admiral Torrisi,
chief of the Italian General Staff.
It all rather reminds me of a remark once made to me by Alan Watts: "The
great error of academic historians is the belief that the Roman Empire 'fell.'
It never'fell.' It still controls the Western world through the Vatican and the
Mafia."
Joyce scholars have not yet satisfactorily explained the number 1132 that
recurs constantly in FW; I gave my own guess earlier. It is interesting that in
