Reasoning
Qualifying passage ids [535964] belong to telling lecture nids [1286]. Each listed lecture contributes the selected safe envelope year 1967 (MAX of its non-refuted delivery years); 1967 is the MIN across telling lectures.

bound
Why
Tightens the phase4 L6a envelope from before 1967 to before 1967-10-02.
Reasoning
L6a envelope tightened to the telling day of nid 1286 (certain delivery 1967-10-02); same premise, finer precision. The phase4 L6a bound on this event is `before 1967`, an envelope over delivery YEARS computed without reading text. Its premise is that the fact is true by the time it is told; on that same premise the DAY of the telling is a strictly better upper bound. Nothing is re-decided — the bound is stated to the precision the evidence always supported. The delivery claim for 1967-10-02 on nid 1286 is held at `certain` by the corpus, which is what carries this claim. #2274; the L6a row stands beside this one.

Reasoning
'On his way to Rome and the Ecumenical Conference' (passage 535964), told 1967-10-02 as recent ('there was a cardinal here'). The Ecumenical Conference of that decade is Vatican II, held in autumn sessions 1962-65. The identification of the council is an inference and the cardinal is not named.
