Jewel of Catholicism lies in the Kingdom of God (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

zircon

'jewel' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.

(Other definitions for zircon that I've seen before include "Mineral used as a gemstone in its transparent form" , "Bluish gem cut form translucent mineral" , "jargoon?" , "Mineral of gem quality" , "Crystal-like semi-precious stone" .)

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