Fellay: "The movement towards reconciliation has been halted"

One of the most important French national dailies, Le Figaro, reports this Monday on the Pentecost weekend Traditionalist pilgrimages in France (the Ecclesia Dei pilgrimage, from Paris to Chartres; and the FSSPX pilgrimage from Chartres to Paris). The most relevant portion of the article, though, are the words of the Superior-General of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX/SSPX), Bishop Bernard Fellay, who celebrated Mass for the second group of pilgrims yesterday. Asked about the reconciliation process with the Holy See, he answers:

"My impression," he explains, "is that the movement to reconciliation willed by the Pope has been halted, at the Vatican or elsewhere". He also recognizes, however, that, in any event, "nothing shall come, undoubtedly, before [their] General Chapter".

Does "elsewhere" mean France?...
