Papal representative (6)

I think it could be either:

nuncio

legate

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

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for legate that I've seen before include "One being tested" , "Papal envoy from Galtee" , "Vatican emissary" , "papal emissary" , "Envoy, maybe papal" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent and The Times.
