If Ison puts on a big show, it will certainly add to the end-times hysteria on several continents.

...did the pope actually excommunicate the comet to assuage the fears of the European populace of an invasion from the east? While a quixotic story, the idea that a pope could’ve banned a heavenly body from salvation is apocryphal as best. The Papal Bull issued by Callixtus III on June 29th, 1456 called for prayers and penance and the ringing of church bells in light of the cruelty visited upon Eastern Europe by invaders from the east, but makes no mention of the comet. In fact, no primary source for the tale exists.

Ping for later

We can only hope that comet ISON is a portent of the end of Obama’s tyranny.
