The uninterrupted memory of Rene Guenon’s (pbuh) lotus feet destroys all sins and brings about peace.

why did guenon choose Islam over Catholicism if he found both of them valid? wouldn't it make more sense for him to stick with Catholicism since he was raised that way?

Religions tend to require a central figure who has supernatural abilities. Guenon was too humble to run that scam.

Was not being able to be a Freemasonry in Catholicism his only beef with it?
Also I thought that Freemasonry was haram in Islam as well.

He wanted to participate in a living esoteric stream (sufism) that allowed one to do so while continuing to have a wife and home. It's debatable to what extent there is esoteric transmission of metaphysical/spiritual doctrine in Catholicism, but even those who argue that it still has this usually concede that it's restricted to people who become monks and live in monasteries, retreats or who become celibate members of monastic orders etc.

He believed there were no living gurus within Catholicism that preached annihilation and could point to a lineage of gurus also preaching annihilation going back to time immemorial.
