== Definition and Meaning == The Catholic Church understands the '''canon of Scripture''' as the collection of books that are inspired by the [[Holy Spirit]] and entrusted to the Church. The canon was discerned, recognized, and defined by the Church, which Christ endowed with authority to “bind and loose” (cf. [[Gospel of Matthew|Matthew 16:19]]). <blockquote>“It was the apostolic Tradition that led the Church to discern which writings are to be included in the list of the sacred books.” — ''[[Catechism of the Catholic Church]]'', §120</blockquote>
