This quote from the late Joseph Ratzinger, Pope Benedict XVI, regarding the parable of the vineyard, is very relevant for the Church today.
Yet there is a promise in Jesus' words: the vineyard will not be destroyed. While the unfaithful labourers abandon their destiny, the owner of the vineyard does not lose interest in his vineyard and entrusts it to other faithful servants. This means that, although in certain regions faith is dwindling to the point of dying out, there will always be other peoples ready to accept it.
