    A. A moral purpose
    Explanation
    A moral purpose does not qualify writings to be in the canon. The canon refers to the collection of authoritative texts accepted as scripture by a religious community. Apostolic origin, widespread acceptance, and conformity to the rule of faith are the criteria typically used to determine whether a writing is included in the canon. However, having a moral purpose alone is not sufficient to qualify a writing for inclusion in the canon.
