In modern Israel, there are no scribes (just as there are no scribes in any other modern country).
In Ancient Israel, scribes wrote down information for the government bureaucracy. At that time, literacy was incredibly low, so the scribes wrote and read for the leadership.

Is the father in The Parable of the Prodigal Son being merely foolish and sentimental?
No I don't think so. The parable was told as a rebuke to the scribes and Pharisees of Jesus' time. Jesus came to call the nation of Israel to repent but the scribes and Pharisees thought Jesus should be talking with them the "spiritual leaders" not the common people. The father in the parable represents God and shows His desire for Israel to repent and turn to Him.
What sacrament does parable of prodigal son refer to?
It doesn't refer to any sacrament the parable is about the nation of Israel. The parable of the Lost Son is in a group of three parables - The Lost Sheep, The Lost Coin and the Lost Son. These three parables are about God's love for people who are lost and, in the context of the parables, God's love for the 'lost' nation of Israel. The father in the parable represents God. The youngest son represents Israel and the oldest son represents the Pharisees and the scribes. The parable was told because of the attitudes of the scribes and Pharisees. Both of these groups were self righteous and rejected Jesus. This parable along with the parables of the lost coin and the lost sheep, are rebukes to the scribes and Pharisees.
