    November 2026: Corrected the account of criminal convictions (two members have been convicted in Scotland, in 2018 and 2020; a 2023 conviction previously listed was an error), added Lord Justice Ward's findings on the group's deception of outsiders, and fixed the wording of the 2008 apology and of the 2005 Rodriguez killing. Confidence is now 88 because the evidence that leaders hid the abuse from the authorities, or that a cover-up continues today, comes from survivor and advocate allegations rather than court findings.
