This sounds like the opinion which got John XXII into trouble, saying the Beatific Vision would not be enjoyed by the just until the Last Judgment.

Subject: [M-R] dilation?
medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Dear Colleagues,
I have read a couple of books this summer on medieval images of the Last Judgement and related themes, in the course of which I have run into a concept which has not been explained: in French, it is "dilation" which dictionaries tell me should be translated
into English as "dilitation". It has something to do with the state of souls between death and the Last Judgement, particularly in terms of suffrages. Could anyone clarify this term for me, or point me in an appropriate direction?
Many thanks,
Jim
