  Canon (priest) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Originally, a canon was a cleric living with others in a clergyhouse or, later, in one of the houses within the precinct or close of a cathedral and ordering his life according to the orders or rules of the church.
One of the functions of the cathedral canons in the Roman Catholic Church is to elect a Vicar Capitular to serve during a sede vacante period of the diocese.
Generally speaking, the canons in the Episcopal Church or the Anglican Church in the United States are of this sort, and thus are equivalent to a monsignor in the Catholic Church, often wearing the violet or violet-trimmed cassock which is associated with that rank.

 The Validity of Confessions & Marriages in the Chapels of the SSPX:  continued (chapters 3-6)
Canon 209 does not make any restriction in the suppliance of jurisdiction, and even though the assistance to marriages is not strictly speaking an act of jurisdiction but a simple administrative act, we have already seen when treating common error that it must be considered under the circumstances contemplated by Canon 209.
The commonest situation is the one in which the priest is not physically reachable: there is no priest in the region, as it still happens in the immense territories of mission areas; or there is a religious persecution which makes it dangerous for his life to leave his refuge.
The faithful who have recourse to a Modernist priest put their very faith in danger of compromising with the post-Conciliar Liberal doctrines such as ecumenism and religious liberty, not to mention the myriad of horrors that have issued from the Vatican II revolution and which have affected the catholic beliefs and practice.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Canon of the Mass
Canon (Canon Missæ, Canon Actionis) is the name used in the Roman Missal for the fundamental part of the Mass that comes after the Offertory and before the Communion.
The name Canon (kanon) means a norm or rule; and it is used for various objects, such as the Canon of Holy Scripture, canons of Councils, the official list of saints' names (whence "canonisation"), and the canon or list of clerks who serve a certain church, from which they themselves are called canons (canonici).
He thinks that the Canon, while consisting of much the same prayers, was originally arranged in a different order, namely, in the same way as the Syrian Anaphora which it so closely resembles, and that in the fifth century, shortly before it became stereotyped in the time of St.

The Church has determined in Canon 1094 (New Code Canon 1108) that the ordinary form for a valid marriage requires the presence of the pastor, or the local Ordinary or a delegated priest, and of at least two witnesses.
However, both Codes contemplate exceptions from the ordinary canonical form, in which it is possible for the parties to contract valid and licit marriage before two witnesses, and without the presence of the authorized priest.
It must be understood that this difficulty of securing the presence of the priest at the marriage need not be a general or common difficulty, but may be a particular and individual difficulty of the particular priest and couple.

 December 9: Vicar of Christ Speaks (dec9vic.htm)
Because these are exceptional cases, before employing them, other possibilities should be availed of, such as using of the services of retired priests still capable of such service, or entrusting several parishes to one priest or to a coetus sacerdotum.
The same canon, however, reaffirms that these forms of participation in the pastoral care of parishes cannot, in any way, replace the office of Parish Priest.
In the same regard, it must be noted that the Parish Priest is the Pastor proper to the parish entrusted to him (77) and remains such until his pastoral office shall have ceased.

 Zenit News Agency - The World Seen From Rome
Similarly, the parish is described as a community of the faithful entrusted to the pastoral care of a parish priest, under the authority of the bishop ("Christus Dominus," 28; Canon 515).
The fathers of Vatican II emphasized that the parish priest was not a delegate of the diocesan bishop but the proper pastor of the parish community ("Christus Dominus," 28; Canon 519).
The second special moment "is when a priest, because of advanced age, resigns the actual pastoral leadership of a community or other positions of direct responsibility." Here, the Pope stresses the importance of the bishop affirming that the priest still has an important but different role to play in the pastoral care of the faithful.

 Canterbury Tales: The Canon's Yeoman's Tale
In London was a priest, an annualeer Who had therein dwelt many a quiet year, A man so pleasant and so serviceable To the goodwife who shared with him her table, That she would never suffer him to pay For board or clothing, went he ever so gay; Of spending-silver, too, he had enow.
And while the priest did pile up busily The burning coals, as I told you ere this, This canon said: "My friend, you do amiss; This is not piled up as it ought to be; But soon I shall amend all that," said he.
When now the priest was thus beguiled again, Supposing naught but truth, I should explain, He was so glad that I cannot express, In any way, his mirth and his gladness; And to the canon he did proffer soon Body and goods.

 The Validity of Confessions & Marriages in the Chapels of the SSPX
The Catholic Church is a perfect society, with a perfect end and full rights to obtain it: the end is the salvation of the souls and the means are the ones which her Divine Founder entrusted her, the doctrine to be taught, the Sacraments to sanctify, and the hierarchical structure to govern.
Many of the canonical rules of the Church have their origin in Roman Law, and the suppliance of jurisdiction in case of common error is one of them.
Indeed, it is explicit in Canon 144, #2, that the norm concerning the suppliance of jurisdiction in case of common error must also be applied to the assistance to a marriage.

Canon law experts said such pressure may constitute a mitigating factor that could nullify or lessen any penalty if the pope were to proceed with a formal excommunication process.
Navarro-Valls said the two priests, as well as the two bishops who consecrated them, are subject to a provision of canon law that requires automatic excommunication in cases of ordination performed without papal consent, a severe and rarely enacted punishment.

 Cruise Line Rent-a-Priest
There have been unfortunately several similar cases over the last few years of priests who, having received a dispensation, or who simply abandoned their ministry without seeking a dispensation, later offer themselves for several purposes such as Masses for particular groups and weddings for those who would not be allowed to marry in Church.
While respecting whatever reasons of conscience may have moved a priest to request a dispensation from the clerical state, he knows that, although he remains a priest forever, once the petition is granted he loses both the obligations and the rights pertaining to his ordination.
A wedding performed by a priest in this situation would be invalid in the eyes of the Church, and likewise most confessions would be invalid although a penitent who is unaware of the priest's status would obtain forgiveness.
