Inspired article for the papal authority (7)
I believe the answer is:
vatican
'the papal authority' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'inspired article' is the wordplay.
'inspired' becomes 'vatic' (vatic means inspired or possessed like a prophet).
'article' becomes 'an' (indefinite article).
'vatic'+'an'='VATICAN'
'for' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for vatican that I've seen before include "Papal authority" , "Papal enclave" , "See City" , "Pope's home" , "Papacy" .)
