Formal curse by a pope (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

anathema

(Other definitions for anathema that I've seen before include "One hated" , "hated person" , "Something hated" , "Curse - church ban" , "Formal church curse of excommunication" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
