Given our decadent state in the Kali Yuga, it's difficult to find legitimate intitiation. The idea you have to look for, is this particular intitiaion have a chain back to the originators of said religion Muhammad, Christ, Buddha, etc. And does it still contain the true traditional metaphysics?

As to catholicism, Guenon thought the tradition had been lost at the end of the 12th century. Catholic Guenonians since then have disagreed. Pic related here >>13450550 is some of their books:
Jean Hani
Jean Borella
Wolfgang Smith

I recommend Borella's Christ: Original Mystery for a good critique of Guenons view of Catholicism and a defense of its legitimacy. It's a difficult book however.

Guenon personally recommended islam/sufism to those who asked him, but wanted to see a revitalization of Catholicism in the West based on the preserved trad metaphysics of the hindus.

It really depends on what's available in your area:
Buddhism
Hinduism
Roman Catholicism
Orthodox Catholicism
Islam

But it's up to you to determine whether it's a legitimate chain of initiation to the source.
