Pope Francis made a decree on March 20, offering a plenary indulgence to all affected by the virus.  You might recall, an indulgence is the remission of the eventual punishment due for sins that have been confessed and forgiven. A plenary indulgence, which can only be granted in various ways outlined by the Vatican, involves the forgiveness of all of a person's eventual punishment.The new decree offers special plenary indulgences to any Catholic affected by the virus, to health care workers and their families, to those who pray for the end of the epidemic, and to those who die without access to the sacraments.For those in the first three categories, the indulgence can be obtained if the person is sorry for their sins, and prayerfully watches a celebration of the Mass, or prays the rosary,  makes/prays the Way of the Cross, or some other devotion. For persons near death from the virus, and unable to receive the sacraments because of isolation measures, the decree says they can obtain the indulgence "at the point of death, as long as they have recited some prayers during their life." The new thing in this offering, according to theologians, is this last part.  The church fulfills the conditions for you, because all the dying person has had to do, is have recited some prayers. It says ... the church fulfills the conditions for you," per theologians.  It is evidence of the Pope's merciful, tender, and forgiving vision for our church.  God does not turn away God's care for anyone,  especially those, at the most important event of their life, their death.
