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

This clue might be a double definition.

'churchman satirist' is the first definition.
'swift' can be an answer for 'satirist' (I've seen this before). I am not sure about the 'churchman' bit.

'flier' is the second definition.
(swift is a kind of birdanimal)

'and' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for swift that I've seen before include "Fleet" , "Happening quickly; author" , "Hasty" , "A bird; Gulliver author" , "Fast moving; bird" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
