Canon is a term used by the Roman Catholic Church from the Latin Codex Canonum Ecclesiarium Orientalium[1] to identify which books of the Holy Bible are and are not inspired by Almighty God.
Numerous fanatical devotees of fictional works such as Star Wars, Twilight, Harry Potter, Supernatural, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, and most notably Star Trek[2] appropriated this term.
