The importance of the Iconoclast agenda cannot be understated... a people lose their connection to the eternal when their collective history is destroyed. There's no surer way to destroy a people than through their culture.

Great ideas you shared! I've been thinking a lot about this lately and also believe that "cancel culture", along with "call-out culture", is the ultimate iconomachy of our times. The fascination witch comes with the destruction of powerful images are heavy stuff, with real big potential to change social structures and ideas, as history seems to demonstrate.

Cancel culture as iconoclasm: that’s a good insight.

Thank you for this succinct history, I've thought much about this over the years and it's good to hear you set it down in such clear, Justinian phrases! Here's a link to the Guardian's take on this silly gesture of the Manchester Art Gallery. www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/feb/07/the-guardian-view-on-hylas-and-the-nymphs-not-censorship

Why are they in charge of the Cathedral ; excellent question. I could put it down to their ignorance of art and culture. However, it is more than likely just a power grab.
