Church official, less sensitive figure (8,6)
I believe the answer is:
cardinal number
'figure' is the definition.
'church official less sensitive' is the wordplay.
'church official' becomes 'cardinal'.
'less sensitive' becomes 'number' (I've seen this before).
'cardinal'+'number'='CARDINAL NUMBER'
(Other definitions for cardinal number that I've seen before include "one, perhaps" , "E.g. one" , "Maybe one" , "For instance, one" , "It could be one" .)
