Abnormal reaction, sacking a Liberal following Conservative ministers (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

clergy

'ministers' is the definition.
(church ministers)

I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.

(Other definitions for clergy that I've seen before include "Ministry" , "Ordained churchmen" , "Officials of religions" , "Religious officials" , "Church officials" .)
