“Or am I being judgmental?”

No, you are being disingenuous...and you of all people know it! Lest there be any misunderstanding among lurkers, +John Chrysostomos here describes almost exactly the role which is ascribed to the primate of a synod with all that implies, though on a "universal" level, but nothing more, no infallible Vicar of Christ on Earth with "immediate local jurisdiction".

That he does, but you would never have guessed that from the Encyclical. My quarrel is not with St. John but with the misrepresentation of the patristic teaching therein.
