- It is a theological virtue that enables belief in God and spiritual matters, transcending human limitations.
Challenges to Faith

Critical Philosophical Ideas

- Jacques Derrida, as the father of deconstructionism, critiques the assumption of a singular truth or core philosophy, highlighting flaws in traditional beliefs.

- Multi-Culturalism promotes inclusivity and diversity, rejecting elitist narratives that exclude marginalized groups.

La Sallian Identity in Multi-Culturalism
- La Salians have distinct roles in applying multiculturalism by either immersing completely, drifting above, or actively engaging with various cultures.
