Context please?

On one hand, if we are to pray for those "most needing of thy mercy," aren't we praying for the most wretched soul to be spared of Hell? If so, who is to be left in Hell?

OTOH, universalism is a heresy. If we are to pray in confidance that our prayers are to be answered, then does this not lead to universalism?

The Devil and his Angels and all human malefactors who have died up to this time, including such notables as Judas, Mohammad, Luther, and Stalin.

Do you agree with Balthasar that we may hope no human has ever gone to hell? Is the Roman Liturgy full of lies?

I think that Hermann placed him in the precisely the correct context:

Conservative in the sense that yesterday's radical is today's standard bearer. I think this is code meaning he doesn't disagree with Church teaching on abortion, wymyn priestesses, contraception, sodomy, etc.
