Whispers at the Loggia has the text of the Pius X’ s society comment on the meeting, as well as this observation:

Today’s Bollettino of the Press Office of the Holy See (found here) did not list an audience with Bernard Fellay, even though Joaquin Navarro-Valls issued a statement about it at its close. This emphasizes the personal nature of the meeting and it wasn’t one of the official engagements of the Pope’s day with bishops, heads of state and others. And Fellay was strictly referred to as "Mons. Bernard Fellay" — Eccellenza and/or Vescovo were nowhere to be found.
