Jules-Benoît Stanislas Doinel du Val-Michel (December 8, 1842—March 16 or 17, 1903), also simply Jules Doinel, was the founder of the modern Gnostic Church. After spiritual experiences in 1888-89, he proclaimed 1890 the beginning of the Era of Gnosis Restored, assumed the office of Patriach of the Gnostic Church. He titled himself Tau Valentin II, after Valentinius, the second century Christian gnostic thinker. Doinel was "spiritually consecrated" in a spiritual experience in 1888, and not into a line of Apostolic Succession.[1][2]
For a time after 1895, he converted to Roman Catholicism and began a collaboration with Léo Taxil, an anti-Masonic writer who was subsequently exposed as a serial hoaxster. Doinel wrote a book entitled Lucifer Unmasked in 1895 in which he stated that Freemasons worshiped Lucifer.[citation needed] However, in 1900 he was readmitted as a bishop in the Gnostic Church.[3]
