Pope believing at last, touching blood-stained cross (7,1)
I believe the answer is:
gregory x
'pope believing at last touching blood-stained cross' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.
'pope believing at last touching blood-stained cross' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'pope' could be 'gregory' (Gregory is an example) and 'gregory' is found in the answer.
'cross' could be 'x' (X is cross-shaped) and 'x' is located in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
