I'm not sure that is accurate. Many of the things condemned in the Torah are also condemned in the New Testament. Some Christians subscribe to the idea that the new abolishes the old completely but I think that's a Protestant perspective. Some might subscribe to the idea that what is Not Explicitly changed or condemned in the NT still holds, others might say that whatever the NT reconfirms from the OT still holds. I honestly could not tell you the official RC or Orthodox position on the OT is.

It certainly replaced the Jewish calendar and holidays (and the commandments and rituals for each).

Regarding the calender, it certainly changed when they had the number of days in the year figured out. Is the Jewish calender the same as it always was? did they have to add days or months to their year?

Even between eastern and western Christendom the Easter holiday is different. Most of the Jewish ethos is maintained in the New Testament but Grace and Mercy are emphasized more. Stoning is no longer as popular as it once was, how do the Torah respecting Jews handle some of the prescriptions for infractions found in the Old Testament?
