How can the iconoclasts 'win' so that icon veneration is never restored and iconoclasm becomes an ingrained part of the Orthodox faith? How does it affect the Empire and the ideology of the state? Are they further weakened in the west and/or strengthened in the east? How does it affect the memory of the Byzantines with iconoclasm's permanent influence on Byzantine art?
