It sounds like Scripture to me...
Ephesians 1:22
And He put all things in subjection under His feet,
and gave Him as head over all things to the church,
Ephesians 4:12
for the equipping of the saints for the work of service,
to the building up of the body of Christ;
Ephesians 5:23
For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is
the head of the church, He Himself being the Savior of the body.
1 Corinthians 11:3
But I want you to understand that Christ is the head of every man,
and the man is the head of a woman, and God is the head of Christ.
Colossians 1:18
He is also head of the body, the church; and He is the beginning, the firstborn
from the dead, so that He Himself will come to have first place in everything.
Colossians 2:10
and in Him you have been made complete,
and He is the head over all rule and authority;

Constantine tried to mandate religion as the Caesar's did by enforcing worship of themselves. You can't mandate religion if you have any hope of authenticity. As Magenta said, this is scripture that Christ is the head of the church, stating this fact does not diminish the work of the Holy Spirit or the Sovereignty of the Father, it is just focused on Christ and his leadership of the church and thus the source of authenticity in the church.

Jesus also said that I am in the Father, and the Father is in me. He also said that Christians are to be baptized in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
So while Jesus is indeed one with the Father, He is also distinct from the Father and the Holy Spirit. I trust you have a proper biblical understanding of the Godhead.

We know, we are clearly told that Christ was given full authority, but it is certainly not truth in any way, by any authority, that Christ is now all and we can disregard the Father because Christ was given this authority. The blood of Christ was given for our sins, the Father wipes our sins out through that blood, Christ is of major importance.
From Genesis to Revelation we are told of how major this is for us to know and accept. It is also of major absolute importance that God the Father is our God, our creator, and what we learn in the OT gives us the understanding of what we are to learn in the NT.
Christ told us to address our prayers to the Father.
According to scripture it is a distortion of the truth of the Lord to say Christ is all. According to scripture that is a distortion of the Godhead.
