Anglican name bound to get criticism (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

censure

'criticism' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'anglican name bound to' is the wordplay.
'anglican' becomes 'ce' (I've seen this in other clues).
'name' becomes 'n' (common abbreviation e.g. on forms).
'bound to' becomes 'sure' ('sure' can be a synonym of 'bound to').
'ce'+'n'+'sure'='CENSURE'

'get' is the link.

(Other definitions for censure that I've seen before include "Read (someone) the riot act" , "Formal disapproval" , "Rebuke, strongly criticise" , "Severe criticism or disapproval" , "Strong criticism or condemnation" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
