You have to think of "punishment" in more of the general sense of the Latin "poena" - pain.
Much confusion results from too-literal translations of Latin, plus of course the alterations in English from the 16th and 17th centuries to today.
Lots of material still being read today originated in Latin or back in the early days of Modern English (the Catholic Church has been around for awhile.)

OK, it’s medicinal pain distributed by angels to those people they deem deserving.
