Ezekiel 22:26 (NIV)

26 Her priests do violence to my law and profane my holy things;
they do not distinguish between the holy and the common; they
teach that there is no difference between the unclean and the clean;
and they shut their eyes to the keeping of my Sabbaths, so that
I am profaned among them.

By suggesting that pork is okay to eat now, you're doing violence to his law, to his holy things.

I will give a longer response later, but I just want to say that I looked up Ezekiel 22:26 in Hebrew and it isn't "my law", it is "my teaching".  The difference is important and it is a tragedy that "teaching" is so often mistranslated to "law".  The Old Testament is a book for teaching, not a law book.
