The movement after Saint-Simon's death Following Saint-Simon's death in 1825, his followers began to differ as to how to promulgate his ideas. A 'charismatic' faction, led by Barthélemy Prosper Enfantin , purchased the newspaper Le Globe as their official organ , and formed an increasingly religiously-minded ritualistic group based on a community founded at Ménilmontant  . In 1832 the group led by  Enfantin was brought to trial by the July Monarchy on charges of public indecency specifically in regards to Enfantin's beliefs and practices associated with free love. The group was later banned by the authorities in 1832 although it had already been suffering severe internal disputes. Following this some of Enfantin's followers visited Constantinople and then Egypt and influenced the creation of the Suez Canal in search of Messianic revelations, and the formal Saint-Simonian movement expired.*
