What happened to Purgatory? This necessary after-life purification, that souls undergo when not able during life to expiate all temporal pain caused by their sins, seems today almost forgotten. Priests are more inclined to make a dying person already a saint because of the last rites received, or even to "canonize" the dead person during the Requiem Mass, (wrongly) assuming that he/she is already in the glory of God. In so doing we mix up sacraments with indulgence, and forget the reality of temporal punishments as effects of our sins.
