I'm no expert on churches, but aren't you supposed to face the other way rather than kneeling and praying to your own recently vacated (and in his case reputedly rather pungent) seat?
As someone raised Catholic, including attending a Catholic grade school, I can confirm there are padded kneelers that flip down from the back of the pew in front of where you're sitting. But he's not facing the wrong way. He's turned around so we can all worship him and his manfully large hands.
