Is there an infinite number of different infinities.

Cantor’s profoundly materialist reconceptualization of the infinite?

 His basic premise is the multiplicity
of infinities which cannot be totalized into an all-encompassing One.

Cantor’s great materialist breakthrough concerns the status of infinite
numbers (and it is precisely because this breakthrough was materialist
that it caused so many psychological traumas to Cantor, a devout
Catholic): 

prior to Cantor, the Infinite was linked to the One, the
conceptual form of God in religion and metaphysics, while with Cantor,
the Infinite enters the domain of the Multiple—it implies the actual
existence of infinite multiplicities, as well as the infinite number of
different infinities.
