Fundamental clergyman (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cardinal

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'fundamental' is the first definition.
(synonyms)

'clergyman' is the second definition.
(cardinal is a kind of clergyman)

(Other definitions for cardinal that I've seen before include "Word to describe one or two" , "of prime importance" , "Possibly one" , "papal adviser" , "Main - church dignitary" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
