Holy person rebuked and beaten (8)
I believe the answer is:
strapped
'beaten' is the definition.
(strapping is a kind of beating)
'holy person rebuked' is the wordplay.
'holy person' becomes 'st' (I've seen this in other clues).
'rebuked' becomes 'rapped'.
'st'+'rapped'='STRAPPED'
'and' is the link.
(Other definitions for strapped that I've seen before include "Like one who may need a loan" , "in need of money" , "beaten" , "Needy - secured" , "whipped" .)
