====Splinter groups==== When Antoine was alive, a minor splinter group was led in [[Verviers]] by a man named Jousselin.<ref>[[#Vivier|Vivier, 1989]], p. 373.</ref> A more important schism from Antoinism was iniatied by Pierre Dor (born 15 May 1862, Mons-Crotteux), Louis Antoine's nephew, and was named "Dorism". He first participated in the Spiritist circle of his uncle, "The Vine Growers of the Lord", but decided to split off, as he believed he had himself [[gifts of healing]]. He tried to heal sufferers, but did not achieve success and returned to the group of his uncle. However, he accompanied one of his patients in Russia, where he enjoyed success since he healed about 7,000 people per week,<ref>[[#Dericquebourg|Dericquebourg, 1993]], p. 31.</ref> but came back to Belgium after complaints from doctors. In Roux-Wilbeauroux, he built a hall called "The Moral School" ("L'École Morale") where he healed the sick and dispensed roughly the same teachings as that of his uncle.<ref name="Cecius">{{cite web |title=L'antoinisme et le dorisme |url=https://prolib.net/pierre_bailleux/libresens/208.014.antoinisme.htm |first=Jacques |last=Cecius |publisher=Profils de libertés |location=Spa |date=2 July 2007 |language=fr |access-date=10 September 2010}}</ref> He explained his theory in two books respectively published in 1912 and 1913, entitled ''Catechism of the Restoration of the Soul'' (''Catéchisme de la restauration de l'âme'') and ''Christ Speaks Again'' (''Le Christ parle à nouveau'')—as he identified himself to Jesus Christ, and Antoine to [[John the Baptist]]—which Debouxhtay considered as a potential [[plagiarism]] of Antoine's writings.<ref>[[#Debouxhtay|Debouxhtay, 1945]], p. 15.</ref> Dor encouraged a diet of [[vegetable]]s boiled in water and [[chastity]] before marriage. In 1916, he was convicted of illegally practicing the healing art. Thereafter, he moved to [[Uccle]], and his movement disappeared following his death on 5 March 1947.<ref name="Cecius"/> As Antoinism, Dorism was criticized by some Catholic clergy members.<ref>{{cite book |title=L'Antoinisme ou la religion bizarre d'un faux prophète |author=Abbé Brabant |publisher=Éditions Rex |place=Louvain |year=1931 |chapter=Appendice: Le Dorisme |language=fr}}</ref>
