The LC appealed to human authority and denied that conscience was a good reason to disobey authority. That was blatant madness because the appeal to human authority, like any moral appeal, is ultimately an appeal to conscience. So the LC was essentially saying that sometimes you need to obey your conscience and sometimes you don't, and they would tell you when those times were. That's plainly untenable.
So the LC was not making a moral appeal at all, it was asking the saints to be mindless and senseless. Does that sound like any "economy" God would associate himself with?
