Question: Are there degrees of punishment in hell and degrees of
reward in heaven?

1. Reflections on Lk. 12:47. No passages that say Blessed is the
man which thinks one way is as good as another; or Blessed is the
man who is true to his conscience. The blessings are pronounced
upon the one who knows and does the will of God (v. 43).
     Ignorance saves no one; if it did, the more ignorant a person
is the more sure would be his salvation. On the contrary, ignorance
causes many to be lost (Hos.4:6).
2. Instead of thinking that hell will be hotter for some
(externally), it would seem that the greater one's awareness of his
opportunities, the greater knowledge of truth, and what one has
allowed to slip through his fingers, will produce greater suffering
(internally).
