Answer 2

canon, a body of writings recognized by authority. Those books of holy scripture which religious leaders accept as genuine are canonical, as are those works of a literary author which scholars regard as authentic. The canon of a national literature is a body of writings especially approved by critics or anthologists and deemed suitable for academic study. Canonicity is the quality of being canonical.

Answer 3

A canon (from the Latin canonicus, itself derived from the Greek κανωνικος 'relating to a rule') is a priest who is a member of certain bodies of the Christian clergy subject to an ecclesiastical rule (canon).

Usually, a canon refers to a complete body of work that won't change: the Biblical Canon (from which we get Canon Law), or Elvis' canon of recorded gospel songs.

Don't confuse this with 'cannon' which makes "the cannon of a church" a great big religious gun.
