Spanish term or phrase: A su fin

SPAIN: "Que tales actitudes comportaban una pena eterna parecía haber quedado probado en los escritos del franciscano. ***A su fin demostraba*** la gravedad del pecado, no siendo, en opinión de doctores y padres de la Iglesia, de naturaleza venial, sino mortal, razón por la cual –continuaba- habían sido objeto de excomuniones las mujeres empecinadas en vestir sus galas y sus escotes: un argumento no muy válido en mi opinión, considerando la facilidad que en dictarlas tenían sacerdotes y prelados de entonces."

Hi neilmac -- about "finally" -- that's how I understand it -- sort of "In summary," or "In conclusion," ... because it follows logically from the previous sentence where: una pena eterna parecía haber quedado probado ... etc., no?
