ROME – Starting a family in Italy is becoming a “titanic effort” that only the rich can afford, Pope Francis said on Friday, warning that “savage” free-market conditions were preventing the young from having children.

Speaking at a conference on the growing demographic crisis, Pope Francis said the declining birth rate signalled a lack of hope in the future, with younger generations weighed down by a sense of uncertainty, fragility and precariousness. “The free market, without the necessary corrective measures, becomes savage and produces increasingly serious situations and inequalities,” he added.

“I lost my patience and upbraided her saying many children are hungry and you bring me a dog,” he said.
