What does it mean that we say we are a Catholic Church?

We pray in the liturgy:

For our Holy Ecumenical Pontiff, John Paul the Pope of Rome, for our venerable Metropolitan, Archbishop Basil, for our God-loving Bishop, Andrew.

See the book by Basil Shereghy (external link Byzantine Catholics) in the section on the Byzantine rite.
