Lunatic Pope stood against (7,2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

opposed to

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

'lunatic pope stood' is the wordplay.
'lunatic' indicates anagramming the letters.
'pope'+'stood'='popestood'
'popestood' with letters rearranged gives 'OPPOSED TO'.

(Another definition for opposed to that I've seen is " In contrast with or hostile towards".)
