leonine

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

'associated with pride' is the definition.
The answer and definition are different parts of speech. However, past participle verbs and adjectives occasionally mean the same thing.

'one bishop of rome like all' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
an anagram of 'one' is 'eon' which is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'line' 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?
