Canon means rule. the canon law is the law of the church,. Biblical books deemed canonical are church-approved, and so it goes. at one time a Canon- the title is no longer in common use, was a church title ranking between Priest and Bishop and thus the regular clergy at cathedrals- Bishops can"t be everywhere at once. any Priest could say mass, but only Canons could do so at a Cathedral. the church rank of Canon has largely been replaced by Monsignor, again between Priest and Bishop and usually a stational-static job.
