Please also explain the letters which some early Eastern Saints, (Chrysostom especially), sent to the Bishops of Rome during various Church crisis', letters which clearly show they deferred to the Bishop of Rome as final authority within in the Church.

Were these letters ever evaluated in a council? Are there not several letters many even attributed to the apostles which are hardly considered fully canonical or infailable?
