 What was the real heart of the Iconoclast dispute?

            The real heart of Iconoclasm was the theology of the Incarnation. Unlike the former heresies that attacked some particular aspect of the divine economy and the salvation coming from Christ's Incarnation, Iconoclasm attacked the entire economy of salvation. It was both a consequence of former Christological controversies and an identical repetition of errors of the past. “Iconoclasm is the sum of many heresies and errors,” stated the Fathers of the Seventh Ecumenical Council.
