This article make a walk for the theosophical thought of Alberto Masferrer showing as the creator of the Minimum Vital theory at the beginning doesn’t know how to build his idea of God and world. As well explain how that doctrine even for his supporters become confuse because it eclectic character. Also present the doctrinal and institutional confrontation between theosophy and Catholicism during the first half of the XX century: the theosophy under the creed that its principles were perfectly harmonics with the Catholicism and the Catholic Church condemning to the theosophy under the assumption was a series of superstitions and absurd suggestions. Since other perspective prove Masferrer´s work is unitary, or in other words, his theosophical dimension is intimately bound to his vitalism or social dimension.
