Church leader carrying zero in medical coverage (4)
I believe the answer is:
pope
This clue might be a double definition.
'church leader' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)
'zero in medical coverage' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.
'carrying' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pope that I've seen before include "served in the Vatican" , "author" , "English poet, d. 1744" , "Vatican head" , "Head of RC church" .)
