By Julia Meloni, OnePeterFive - Ultimately, Fernández’s thought is very similar to that of the late Cardinal Carlo Maria Martini, the leader of the St. Gallen mafia—the group of high-ranking churchmen who plotted to move the Church in a more Liberal direction. In Night Conversations, Martini emphasized fighting for social justice in the world without being too insistent on sexual matters or traditional pro-life topics... “I hope that sooner or later God redeems everyone. I am a great optimist,” Martini said in the book. He was discussing how “nobody knows if anyone is in hell” and how it was “easier” to think that someone like Hitler was “simply extinguished.”
