ignorant

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

'not knowing' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?

'monsignor anthony revealed it' is the wordplay.
'IGNORANT' is hidden in amongst the letters.
However, I am uncertain how this is indicated.

'if' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
