I count long Masses with overly elaborate musically rendered versions of The Gloria as Purgatory. There are definitely parish music directors in Purgatory - my purgatory is to listen to them and their purgatory is to take lessons from the angels until all the over-embellishment is worked out of their systems.

Add to that the lack of heart to sing unto the Lord, which i should do more of also. When i was a Catholic the priest used to exhort us to “sing like Protestants.”
