Editor’s Note: Saint Alphonsus said in the 18th century, regarding the heretical clergy who organized the “Council of Pistoia”, that they were sodomites and being such they naturally inclined to hate God Himself and become involved in the Satanic. —  But you never hear this because the documents of the heretical and unauthorized Council of Pistoia are nearly identical in their agenda with Vatican II.

So it should not surprise anyone, then that Cardinal Prevost, who seems obsessed with blasphemy, implied in his recent “homily” that Christ Jesus intentionally celebrated His Last Supper in a house of sodomites.

The implication is Satanic.

Cardinal Prevost says, that Jesus told his disciples to prepare the Last Supper by sending them into the City of Jerusalem looking for a man carrying a jug of water. In Prevost’s mind, however, he explicitly states the totally false absurdity, that a man carrying a jug of water was doing a woman’s work: implying to his fellow sodomites, wink wink, the perverted implication above said.

Talk about projection!

Now I think the meaning of Prevost’s, “Leave room for God”, is made manifest.

A Catholic Exegesis

As someone trained in Cultural Anthropology and who has studied the civilization in the Classical Age, I can assure you that carrying a jug of water was not “women’s work” — I cannot imagine how a Chicago liberal like Prevost could be so “sexist” — since most water jars held huge amounts of water and were back-breaking to lift. You can ascertain this from the events surrounding the Wedding Feast at Cana. — Only a total idiot or leftist ideologue would suggest that only women typically carried water jars in the Classical period.

As to the weight of the jug of water (κεράμιον ὕδατος) which is cited in Luke chapter 22, and Mark chapter 14, it is impossible to determine, since the word used is a generic word for any pottery vessel. But the verb used, for carrying (βαστάζων) is the same verb used by the Apostle St. John, for Jesus carrying His Cross in John 19:17, which implies “carrying on his shoulder”, and not in his hands, as one would do with a small pitcher.

In fact, “find the man carrying a jug of water” is one of those expressions which implies how all sinners need to find Redeemer, Who wrought the Redemption of the world, both because Christ is the Suffering Servant who bore our sins (1 Peter 2:24; Isaiah 52:13-53:12), and because in His immolation on the Cross, water flows out from His side (John 19:34), as the Fathers of the Church indicate as a fulfillment of Ezechiel’s vision (chapter 47) of water flowing out from the side of the Temple.

And since Our Lord wants to celebrate the Last Supper in the house of the man who carries this jug of water, He is also teaching us that it is the believer who seeks out the Eucharist who will find the waters of salvation in abundance.

For all these reasons, it becomes clear that to imply that the man carrying the jug was doing a woman’s work is totally absurd from the point of culture, history and misses the entire theological point that Jesus is making by precepting this specific sort of quest, a quest which is the very type of work that each man born into this world, hereafter, is called to accomplish, if he is to come to salvation.
