Is a padre confused in heaven? (8)
I believe the answer is:
paradise
'heaven?' is the definition.
(I know that Paradise is a type of heaven)
'is a padre confused' is the wordplay.
'confused' indicates an anagram.
'is'+'a'+'padre'='isapadre'
'isapadre' is an anagram of 'PARADISE'.
'in' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for paradise that I've seen before include "Idyllic place" , "Happiness" , "Place of utter bliss" , "Heaven; Eden" , "Felicity" .)
