Clergymen
I think it could be either:
'clergymen' is the definition.
(curate is a kind of clergyman)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for curates that I've seen before include "Servicemen" , "As ministry assistants" , "clerical workers" , "Vicars' seconds" , "Clerics" .)
'clergymen' is the definition.
(priest is a kind of clergyman)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for priests that I've seen before include "Church leaders" , "Religious leaders" , "Clergymen" , "Spiritual leaders" , "Ordained ministers" .)
