Many of Jesus' parable were directed at the nation of Israel as Jesus said:

Matthew 15:24 ................ "I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel."

So these parables are not Church teaching and Church doctrine should not be based on them.

Parables are open to interpretation. For example the parable of the Lost Son is often interpreted as an example of sinners coming to salvation but the context of this parable shows it was directed at the Scribes and Pharisees and better interpreted with Israel as the Lost Son.
