The Pope speaks often to "youth" but here is a story to show that his words are for all ages:
CNS
 
Before leading a rally with the young people of Sardinia, Pope Benedict XVI held a lower-decibel encounter with 30 of the island's centenarians.

Their wish for the 81-year-old pontiff? That he enjoy a life as long as theirs.

Sardinia, an Italian island known for the longevity of its residents, hosted the pope for a one-day pastoral visit Sept. 7. The pope celebrated an outdoor Mass for 80,000 people at a Marian sanctuary in the seaport of Cagliari, met with priests and religious, and addressed youths in a city square.

Thanks KatyA , a nice touch for him to speak to the old people and I am sure it was much appreciated.

I was interested in an article in the Tablet this week previewing his visit to France described as the Church's "troublesome daughter". The article reckons that this is a difficult one for him as French Mass attendance is at a very low level indeed and there is supicion of Pope Benedict in France because of his previous relationship with French theologians when in his old job. Also hints of suspicion because he is German.

It will be interesting to see how this one goes.

My knowledge is limited to the Oisans area so I wouldn't care to comment.
I find it quite characteristic of The Tablet that it should write about alternatives to Mass and vists to a protestant community as if it were the most natural thing in the world for Catholics to behave in this manner.
