Pope Francis on the Demographic Situation: Only the Rich in Italy can afford Children
Starting a family in Italy is starting to become a "titanic effort" that only the rich can afford
Black smoke has issued from the Sistine Chapel in Rome, signalling that the second and third votes in the Papal election have been inconclusive.
Cardinals have been meeting for a second day to choose a successor to Pope Benedict, who resigned last month.
The 115 electors are shut off in the Sistine Chapel and a nearby residence until two-thirds agree on a leader for the world's Catholics.
Further votes will be held on Wednesday afternoon, the BBC informs.
There is no clear frontrunner to replace Pope Benedict XVI.
The 85-year-old stepped down last month, saying he was no longer strong enough to lead the Church, which is beset by problems ranging from a worldwide scandal over child sex abuse to allegations of corruption at the Vatican Bank.
The cardinals will vote four times daily until a single candidate garners enough support - at which point the smoke coming from the Sistine Chapel chimney will be white.
