'One' as recited in the Nicene Creed means one, single Church united under the leadership of Jesus Christ through His vicar on earth, the pope. Since the Catholic Church was the only Christian Church in existence at the time the reference could only be made to that Church.
The Magisterium is teaching authority of the Roman Catholic Church.
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 correct name of the popularly called Catholic Church is The Holy Roman Church. The word "Catholic" is not a part of its official name.

Well, "catholic" spelled with a lower-case "c", is a word meaning, "all-inclusive". It is not necessarily a religious word, at all. Roman Catholic is a Christian religion, and the word, "Catholic" is a religious word meaning, "all-inclusive" or "available to all". There are 2 Catholic churches. The church in Roman-held areas was a rival to the church in areas of what is now Turkey. The head of that church was in Byzantium. Eventually, the 2 church group broke apart, one being called the Roman Catholic church, and the other being called the Byzantine Catholic church. The Byzantine Catholic church is today better know as the Greek Orthodox church and Russian Orthodox church. Thus church follows the old, old practices that the Roman Catholic church has abandoned or altered over the years.

I'm not familiar with the standing of a Ukrainian Catholic Church in relationship to the Roman Catholic Church. The Eastern Orthodox Church, which it may be, is currently in a 'schism' with the Church in Rome. This word, schism, is important. Any such church simply means that the Roman Catholic Church does not consider them preaching the same set of truths. When a Roman Catholic individual marries, they have a moral obligation to be married in the Catholic church. Thus, they should be married by a Roman Catholic priest who is in union with the Church. However, as you might have heard, exceptions can be granted. The best advice is really one that your pastor will answer. I urge you to pay him a visit and discuss this important topic. God bless you!
Votive means optional.
I cannot find the word "elect" in the Catechism of the Catholic Church, the Code of Canon Law, or Modern Catholic Dictionary, so I am assuming that the word has no special assigned meaning in the Catholic Church.
The word 'catholic' simply means 'universal'. Hence the Roman Catholic Church means the universal Church of Jesus Christ which has its centre at the Vatican, Rome. The 'catholic' church, however, (with a small 'c') means the universal Church of Jesus Christ throughout the world, consisting of all denominations, Roman Catholic as well as all protestant churches as well.
