Minor satirist cutting a line priest rejected (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

juvenile

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

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

'satirist cutting a line priest rejected' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
an anagram of 'line' is 'enil' which is within the answer.
The remaining letters 'juve' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for juvenile that I've seen before include "Young offender" , "Minor" , "Infantile" , "Adolescent" , "Young person, not fully developed" .)
