Why did Guenon convert to Islam? Specifically, why did he reject Catholicism?

Because Catholicism unfortunately doesn't have anything really comparable to Sufism, it has brotherhoods of monks, it has Aristotelian metaphysics, it has mysticism; but it doesn't have initiatic orders going back many hundreds of years that can initiate you into non-dual metaphysical teachings, allowing you to ride out the rest of your life on an ocean of bliss.

Every single saint is, in their own way, more attuned with God than the average Sufi. If you want deep metaphysics united with everlasting joy, simply learn to love Christ with all your being.
