I really just need to know. How does the Trinity effect the distinctive Catholic Morality.

Can you please clarify? Are you wondering why the Trinity is important?
 
Could the greatest commandments possibly describe how Christ is ‘One with the Father’?

God the Son, loves the Father with all his heart, soul, mind and strength.
Jesus loves all of us as he loves himself.

God the Father returns the same perfect love.

God the Father loves God the Son with all his heart, soul, mind and strength.
God the Father loves each and everyone of us as he loves himself.

Could the spirit be the power of God’s love; working through the perfection of the greatest commandments?

1 Samuel 18-1, NIV version

Jonathan became one in spirit with David, and he loved him as himself.

Just some thoughts…
 
I assume you mean, by morality, our discernment of good and evil, and our everyday choices to do good or evil. Then perhaps an effect of the Trinity is that we are better able to understand morality and act morally if we believe that the Father created everything and is the source of all good and all love, and we believe that the Son, Jesus the Christ, became man, suffered, died, and rose from the dead so that we might be saved from death, and we believe that the Spirit is now present to assist and guide us in our earthly lives as well as our spiritual journeys.

Of course there are people who are moral agents and live moral lives without such an understanding of the Trinity, but it is a truth that helps some of us.
