They also discuss the concept of the Gap and the Gain. This is from a book from Dan Sullivan and Ben Hardy and the main idea of the book is that ideals are something to aspire to but they will never be accomplished. Ideals are meant to inspire and generate action they are not something that you should measure against. The correct thing to measure behavior against is the past. Father Craig and Jimmy make the claim that when it comes to Christianity all of society is in the GAP. Of course when you measure Christians against their ideals they will fall short but if you measure the Church's and Christianity's progress from where it came from you cannot help but be grateful.
