It is amusing to me that, in the few cases where Jesus deviated from the ideology of the Pharisees, such as "Ye shall not resist evil," the necessity of washing one's hands before eating, prohibition of divorce, etc, most Christians today follow the Pharisee position rather than that of Jesus.

Pardon me? The Catholic Church has traditionally stood against divorce. "Ye shall not resist evil?" Does that mean the Catholic Church and the charismatic churches have to get rid of their exorcists? Please clarify.

But, but, but...
Catholics are not Christians and we strangle babies with rosary beads then drink their blood. /sarcasm off/

True, the Catholic Church still stands against divorce, but even most Catholic countries now allow it.

No, it had nothing to do with excorcists. Jesus himself was an exorcist. It had to do with turning the other cheek against aggressors. Jesus said turn the other cheek, the Pharisees said no.

Regarding exorcism, the Pharisees believed that eating with dirty hands could cause disease. Jesus disagreed, believing that disease was caused by demons inhabiting the body. Most people now see the truth of the Pharisee position.
