Rotten.com is a place where subtlety isn't in vogue. However, the evil in this picture of the 'act of contrition' is entirely in the eye of the beholder (like this picture). At first, I thought this was a rather obvious and childish cartoon capitalizing on the recent troubles of those randy catholic priests. It isn't. It is a real graphic from a non-funny prayerbook called 'Friend with God.' I'm led to believe that one can make friends with other people as well with the 'abasement' suggested in this drawing.
