I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'be called to account' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'bless one rip liable' is the wordplay.
'bless one rip' can be anagrammed to 'RESPONSIBLE'.
But, I am not clear how the anagram is indicated.

'to' is the link.
