Ross

I believe the answer is:

curia

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">papal court</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this before)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for curia that I've seen before include "Court of the papal see" , "Government department of the Vatican" , "Central church administration in the Vatican" , "Church organisation" , "Papal court, Vatican government" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian, The Irish Times and The Times.
