Papa Francis at the European Parliament...

...read the actual text, as delivered,  here...

and here, also checked against delivery,  his speech to the Council of Europe.

I am honestly at a loss to find anything derogatory about grannies in either.

And watch here to see how he was received (14 interruptions fotr applause, and a standing ovation at the end...)

A BBC report
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-30180667
contains the following:
"At the European Parliament, he spoke of a need to reinvigorate Europe, describing the continent as a "grandmother, no longer fertile and vibrant" and saying it risked "slowly losing its own soul"."

While one is accustomed to bias from the BBC outright lies appear to represent a worryingly new development.
