This is religious gobbledy-gook.

It is all meaningless navel-pondering

Read the bible, follow the 10 commandments (the ONLY actual instructions from God that I know of) and try to be a good person and help others.

Don't worry about whether Mary sits on a thrown or a footstool at the right or left hand of the holy ‘trinity’- does it really matter?

Jesus is Lord - does it really matter? Well, yes, it does. It does because it is the Truth. Jesus promised the Holy Spirit would come to the Church (at the time, the Apostles) to teach them all things. These are things we have learned and are sharing. Does it matter? Does anything matter if we reject the Spirit's teaching?

You need to read a little deeper. Jesus echoed two more commandments from Deuteronomy (Matt 22). He also called us to fasting, prayer and almsgiving (Matt 6). He even gave us the words we are to pray when we do (Matt 6). He commanded his Apostles to baptize in the Name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit (Matt 28) and teach everyone to obey everything [He] commanded them.

Here you are... the Church--the successors to the Apostles and principal of the Great Commission--was commanded to teach us. Listening and learning is up to you. May God bless you.
