The Church’s Teaching Isn’t Up for a Vote

September 05, 2017

The Parable of the Wicked Vinedressers comes at an important point in the life of Christ, only days before his crucifixion. Jesus reveals the Scribes and Pharisees to be those who rejected the message of the prophets, and now they're going to kill God's Son.

(Matthew 21:33-44)
