Another way to spoil pace of a bishop (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

episcopal

'of a bishop' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'another way to spoil pace' is the wordplay.
'another way' indicates an anagram.
'spoil'+'pace'='spoilpace'
'spoilpace' anagrammed gives 'EPISCOPAL'.

(Other definitions for episcopal that I've seen before include "Pepsi-Cola (anag) - pertaining to a bishop" , "sees can be described thus" , "Pepsi-Cola for bishops' kind of business" , "Governed by bishops" , "To do with bishop - maybe Pepsi-Cola" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
