I like the vagueness this thread is venturing into...it's so....enlightening <!-- s:| --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/neutral.gif" alt=":|" title="Neutral" /><!-- s:| -->

I think its hard to escape the conflicting views on this unless we see that Jesus, when he says that nothing that goes into a man defiles him is showing some ..er..disrespect for Leviticus. Or at least he doesn't seem to have the same assumptions about it that you bring to your article.
At the time,and place, it must surely have been, quite a thing to say....?
