Scapular protraction is moving the scapula (shoulder blade) forward. The opposite is scapular retraction. To "feel" the definition, first try retraction -- pull your shoulders back to squeeze your shoulder blades together as if you're trying to hold a pencil between them. Now do the opposite -- that opposite movement is scapular protraction.

What plane and axis is protraction and retraction?
Non-axial. The only axis like movement the scapula has, is upper and lower rotation. Protraction (abduction) and Retraction (adduction) are translation motions.

What muscles is responsible for the movement of scapula depression?
The movement of the scapula is largely determined by the position of the shoulder girdle as a whole. As a "floating bone" the scapula is often at the mercy of the more fixed extremities and can be acted upon by several different muscles simultaneously. That being said, the prime mover responsible for scapular depression is the trapezius (specifically the lower fibers). Other muscles which act as stabilizers or synergists in scapular depression and eventual scapular protraction are the subscapularis, the serratus anterior and the lower fibers of latissimus dorsi.

Can one wear multiple scapulars?
Of course one can. Of course, just wearing a Scapular doesn't usually effect anything unless one believes and is living the life that is attached to the scapular. For instance, I wear a black scapular of the Benedictine Order as I am an Benedictine Oblate, and thus must fulfill all the requirements of being an Oblate. I also wear a Scapular medal of the Brown Scapular, although the promises are mostly made towards wearers of the cloth Scapulars. Scapulars are the long apron like piece of fabric that hang from the shoulders to the ground front and back on religious habits.

Carmel (this is the most famous one), the Blue Scapular of the Immaculate Conception, the Black Scapular of the Seven Dolors of Mary, the Red Scapular of the Passion, and the White Scapular of the Most Holy Trinity.
