Maori perhaps sees a ridiculous point made by churchman (10)
I believe the answer is:
antipodean
'maori perhaps' is the definition.
'a ridiculous point made by churchman' is the wordplay.
'ridiculous' indicates anagramming the letters.
'made by' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (letters written or made by another set of letters).
'churchman' becomes 'dean' (I've seen this before).
'point' anagrammed gives 'ntipo'.
'a'+'ntipo'+'dean'='ANTIPODEAN'
'sees' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for antipodean that I've seen before include "Exactly opposite" , "From Australia and New Zealand" , "coming from Perth" , "as far away as possible" , "extreme point" .)
