Almost everything that Orwell wrote seems to be in print. But there is one area of his life that is relatively unexplored and full of baffling gaps, not to say mystery. He was still several years removed from becoming “George Orwell” by adopting the nom de plume that would carry his legacy.

Totuşi, papa Francisc nu a prezentat cu această ocazie scuze publice, aşa cum ceruseră anumiţi oficiali din Canada. În urmă cu două zile, prim-ministrul canadian Justin Theroux a spus că Biserica Catolică trebuie să îşi asume responsabilitatea pentru rolul jucat în administrarea multor şcoli rezidenţiale. Papa Francisc a mai spus că se simte apropiat "de poporul canadian, care a fost traumatizat de această veste şocantă". "Trista descoperire măreşte şi mai mult înţelegerea noastră despre durerea şi suferinţa din trecut", a adăugat papa Francisc. Sistemul şcolilor rezidenţiale a despărţit cu forţa aproximativ 150.000 de copii de familiile lor.
