Dare we hope that all are saved?

Yes we can, if we presume on the mercy of God. This is the hope of von Balthasar (as criticised by Cardinal Dulles), all too isolated from Faith and Charity. To suggest to an individual that his soul may not be in danger after all is hardly a charity and this was indeed never the faith of Catholics.

von Balthasar was also due to be presented with a Cardinal's hat but died two days before.

Here below one or another of the realities that await for all.

That last card looks like purgatory. The angels appear to be taking the blood of the Lamb to ease the suffering of the souls. Beautiful images, thank you.

Your piece on Balthasar drives home the inescapable observation that you have NOT read Balthasar at all on hell... Your misrepresentation of what he says and writes is unbelievable, and I am tempted to say, demonic. If this is the case, then your blog does not merit my attenion.
Well yes, I have read von Balthasar.
