Does anybody know when and where these were overruled or declared irrelevant? Some help would be nice, because I’m pretty sure my jeans have two types of cloth in them.😃
 
The Council of Florence declared that Jesus dispensed (did away with) all the OT disciplines, such as dietary and other regulations:

“the difference in the Mosaic law between clean and unclean foods belongs to ceremonial practices, which have passed away and lost their efficacy with the coming of the gospel.” [The Council of Florence, Session 11 (4 February 1442).]

Yes, but what passage(s) of the Bible are they referring to?

They were referring to the first Council in Acts chapter 15.

This is the paragraph from The Council of Florence,

“It firmly believes, professes and teaches that every creature of God is good and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, because according to the word of the Lord not what goes into the mouth defiles a person, and because the difference in the Mosaic law between clean and unclean foods belongs to ceremonial practices, which have passed away and lost their efficacy with the coming of the gospel. It also declares that the apostolic prohibition, to abstain from what has been sacrificed to idols and from blood and from what is strangled, was suited to that time when a single church was rising from Jews and gentiles, who previously lived with different ceremonies and customs. This was so that the gentiles should have some observances in common with Jews, and occasion would be offered of coming together in one worship and faith of God and a cause of dissension might be removed, since by ancient custom blood and strangled things seemed abominable to Jews, and gentiles could be thought to be returning to idolatry if they ate sacrificial food. In places, however, where the Christian religion has been promulgated to such an extent that no Jew is to be met with and all have joined the church, uniformly practicing the same rites and ceremonies of the gospel and believing that to the clean all things are clean, since the cause of that apostolic prohibition has ceased, so its effect has ceased. It condemns, then, no kind of food that human society accepts and nobody at all neither man nor woman, should make a distinction between animals, no matter how they died; although for the health of the body, for the practice of virtue or for the sake of regular and ecclesiastical discipline many things that are not proscribed can and should be omitted, as the apostle says all things are lawful, but not all are helpful.”
 
Mark 7:14-20, those are words of our Lord Jesus Christ. 1timothy 4: 1-5, Paul says that all foods are clean. Acts 10: 9-17, the holy spirit in the form of a blanket appears to Peter and tells him to kill any animal that he sees in the blanket, animals with hooves, from air, land and sea were there. Peter tells God that he doesn’t eat anything unclean, and God responds by saying don,t call profane what God has cleaned.
