Yippey! I scored a H1 for this question. H1 by the way, is the highest obtainable grade.
At the end of this module, I did gain a deeper understanding of the presently raging iconoclastic controversy that has its roots in the byzantine period. personally, i feel that both the iconoclast and the iconodules (pro icons) have valid points and that the closure of the controversy does not reflect a victory of ideals but simply a successful political maneuver in support for the iconodules at a point of time in history.
No wonder the deep seated resentment against icons and physical manifestations for veneration are not truly resolved, and perhaps never will.
