Called "cycles" of the liturgical year, these rotate to a new letter (A, B or C) each calendar year at the First Sunday in Advent. Each years cycle has different readings from The Bible.
Until the first Sunday of Advent in 2011, the Church is following cycle A for Mass readings.

As of June 2014 we are in year A of the Sunday cycle, and year II of the weekday lectionary, and will be in them until the First Sunday of Advent, on 30 November 2014 when we will start year B of the Sunday cycle, and year I of the weekday cycle.
The readings are already picked out by the Church. They change every 3 years on Sunday (A,B,C) and are always the same. On weekdays, they are on a two year cycle (I,II).
Is December 1st Year A, B or C
No.AnswerIf you mean 'catholic' with a small 'c', then yes. the word 'catholic' simply means 'universal' and so the Protestant Church is part of the universal Christian Church worldwide. If you mean 'Catholic' with a large 'C' - this usually refers to the Roman Catholic Church and, though the Protestant Church is part of the catholic (universal) church, it is not part of the Catholic (Roman Cattholic) church as this is a separate denomination.
The " catholic " in the creed has a lower case C..... therefore this is the universal church, not the actual Catholic Church. So catholic = Universal Church Catholic = The Catholic Church ( The one with the Pope )
Yes, the Catholic Church believes in one baptism for the forgiveness of original sin. once baptized in any church they are baptized according to the Catholic Church.
In the Apostle's Creed the Methodist (and other Protestant denominations) declare: "I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, ...". In this context, the term "holy catholic church" (note the lower case "c" not upper case "C") refers to the universal church not the Roman Catholic Church. The universal church is a term for the larger Christian community (including Catholics, Protestant denominations, etc.). And likewise, the Nicene Creed reads similarly with "We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church".
Catholic liturgical years come in three cycles for Sunday Cycle A, Cycle B, and Cycle C. . These refer to the cycle of Scripture readings used at Mass. Weekday readings are divided into Year 1 and Year 2
Iglesia is Spanish for church. It can mean a particular building or it can refer, as it does in English, to the universal Catholic (capital C) Church.
The name of the yearly cycle that the Roman Catholic Church undergoes is called the Liturgical Year. There are several Liturgical Seasons celebrated during the Mass and throughout her Liturgy. They are written in order: Advent/Christmas, Ordinary Time, Lent/Easter, Pentecost (for one week, the Church offers Mass for Pentecost), and Ordinary Time. The Liturgical Year ends on the last week of Ordinary Time, on the feast of Christ the King. Then, the Liturgical Cycle begins again with Advent. It is noteworthy to mention that the Church creates a new Paschal Candle with the current year at the Easter Vigil, on the night before Easter Sunday. There is also a Cycle with the Gospels: Cycle A, Cycle B, Cycle C. In each of these cycles, which changes as does the Liturgical Year, different Gospel authors are read at the Liturgies. I hope this answers your question.
