The Monk and The Meathead

Setting the Record Straight: Everything secular society claims they value is actually Christian - The whole Society is in the GAP

Episode Summary

Father Craig and Jimmy discuss three values that secular society holds Sacred: Freedom, Equality, and Women's rights and shows how all of these values are distinctly Christian. No other society other than Christian society every thought of holding these concepts and something to aspire to.

Episode Notes

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.
