The Pharisees' Question About the Tax. (Mt 22,15-22)
They tell Jesus that He does not show partiality: to show partiality means: To favor or show a preference for some people over othe rs for some particular reason or out of personal affection.
“Jesus, knowing the ir roguery" .... roguery means: trickery, villainy, meanness, mischief, vileness, cunning, pimping, swindling.
He also says to them: “Why are you testing Me, you hypocrites?” Hypocrites means: deceivers, impostors, liars, fraudsters, cheats, pretenders, swindlers.

The Pharisees send the ir disciples (their chicks) to pose as people of good will who want to know what pleases God, and the y go along with the ir rivals, the Herodians, so that whatever Jesus says, for or against taxes, one group or the other would attack Him.
The Herodians were supporters of King Herod, whose dynasty came from Herod "the Great", who was not of royal family but put in power by Rome, and the refore servile to the empire. If Jesus said that taxes had to be paid, as Herodians wanted, the Pharisees would accuse Him of being a traitor to the Jewish nation. If He said that taxes should only be paid to the Temple, the Herodians would accuse Him before Rome of provoking the people not to comply with the laws.

The Pharisees wanted to trap Him using the Old Testament, which says, "A man in honors does not understand, He is like cattle that are killed." I guess that's why they give Him such a phony introduction before asking the question. They also say to Him: "Master"—and When had they made an effort to follow Him?

Those people also betrayed the law of Leviticus 19:18: "Love your neighbor as yourself." For neither the Pharisees wanted to have trouble with Rome nor did the Herodians wanted to have trouble with the Jewish people. If they wanted to know Jesus' answer on such a sensitive issue, they should have gone to Him in secret.
Jesus has infinite wisdom and gives them a brilliant answer: "Give to Caesar the things that belong to Caesar and to God the things that belong to God."

They used Roman coins, they had them in their bags, they benefited from peace within the borders of the Roman Empire, and that demands sustaining a large army. Thank God, Roman law was quite fair (with its limitations, because they were pagans): it built bridges, aqueducts, roads, it allowed them to practice their religion... But they didn't want to pay to sustain that...
Jesus commands us to give to God what is God's: love, obedience, and adoration. If we love God, we do not give our time to the devil's box (TV) but to the adoration of Jesus in the Eucharist and an hour a day of meditation on God the Father, to the recitation of the complete Rosary for the peace of the world and the conversion of sinners, as Our Lady of the Roses teaches us.
And of course we are still in the world, and that requires working honestly to earn a living, as Our Lady of the Roses clarifies. Obviously we must pay taxes, fulfill our duties, but obedience to God always comes first.
The Herodians and Pharisees had this blind dispute among themselves for many years, but Jesus, who is God Made Man, resolves it masterfully. Unfortunately, their hatred was such that days later they falsely accused Him before Pontius Pilate, saying that Jesus said that taxes should not be paid. From the story of Susanna, in the book of the prophet Daniel, to the present day, there are many examples of Satanists who think that if they accuse an innocent person of something bad they do, their guilt is erased and they will not be punished. Also if they are afraid that something bad will happen to them, they are capable of killing innocents because they think that evil goes away with the death of that innocent person. Those are henchmen of the murderer and liar, who uses his minions to attack God's good people. That is why we must use the Sacramentals that Our Lady of the Roses tells us, they are for our protection, and obey Her in everything (Jesus Christ speaks in almost all the Messages and She speaks the words of God) since only God can protect us from a world organization of riffraff that serves the devil.

The Old Testament also says, "As a man deals with strangers, so he treats those of his own household." I read it many times in the OT but now neither Yahoo nor Google give me the location of that verse, in fact, they say that it is something widely used in Psychology and that it is not in the Bible. A lie.
The Old Testament also says: whoever digs a pit will fall into it.
Those Pharisees are leading their own children into a spiritual trap as they condition them against God Himself. Also today they fill them with honors to use them for their benefit, telling them "you, young people, are the future", "the future is yours" but in reality the future is mortgaged because One world planners have already planned the 2030 agenda, they are people who serve the devil, and scientists and certain politicians say that the disaster of this civilization is coming... but they do not want to eradicate abortion and homosexuality, which attract the wrath of God, on the contrary, they teach children from their earliest childhood, in schools, sex education, so that they are more fornicators than animals and accept the perversion of the lgtib and commit the aberrant crime of abortion.

Jewry tells its young people that their group is the highest of mankind, and in reality their young people are slaves who cannot even study the university career they want but make them study what the organization tells them: for example, if they want to be doctors or engineers, they are sent to study accounting; if they want to be pediatricians, they make them study law; if they want to be computer engineers, they are sent to study cosmetic surgery... all so that they be unfortunate people who do not prosper in their work and have to receive the sustenance from the organization, which thus has slaves to do in society what the organization wants, so that they are spies-slaves in the companies that go and do any evil that the organization tells them, all in exchange for money to survive. They sell their souls.

Catholics are kidnapped, our children are trafficked or we are simply exchanged for clones (human clones have been made since at least 1900). Out of every 1000 people who go to Mass, we are lucky if 1 is sincere Catholic. The race of vipers (as Isaiah called them) comes to the Church to destroy, kill and steal (Read the passage that includes Jn 10:10). They kill us without making a noise, with false diseases, etc. meanwhile they fall into the trap of the devil that leads them to the death of the soul and from there to eternal death in Hell. They boast that God is with them, when they have no prophets or anything, and they come to the church to hate us and they are taking the tabernacle out of the main place to side chapels where almost no one goes and they sit in that main place. They are actually satanic pagans, a woman once said at a television lunch that Her rabbi teaches her how to handle the energies of the cosmos... they believe any nonsense but not the Truth, they hate the 10 Commandments and the prophets and God Himself.
They want to remove God from the Church, but from the Messages of Our Lady of the Roses we know that He is the base, Jesus Christ will always be there, although being able to stay in the Church will be very difficult and "everything that is rotten will fall"
