It is an ecclesiastical rank evidentally between Priest and Bishop and probably below Monsignor- who is in effect a senior Priest of a parish. There is a huge gap between Priest and Monsignor- and Bishop. a Bishop is in charge of a diocese- usually a large metropolitan area- Like the Archdiocese of Newark, in which Jersey City belongs. The canons may have been ecclesiastical lawyers- something like JAG men, as the canon law is the law of the church, they would rank between Priest and Bishop, possibly below monsignor. a Mnor canon would be a lower-ranking one.

Okay, the Minor Canon was some sort of clergyman and was an extremely scholarly man, he wore specs in the cartoon I saw. I saw this thing around l964 and it didn"t make sense, I did not know what a Minor Canon was and thought it might have been a type of artillery officer, which he was not ( not that type of Cannon).It was a weird sort of cartoon with, impressingly for the time- a Middle East background. I guess he was some sort of -well archaeological student as well. Dinosaur bites are bad for business, and attacking a cleric that"s a No No.! so it goes.
