Religious leaders' afterword filled with hope for cockneys (5)
I believe the answer is:
popes
'religious leaders'' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for popes that I've seen before include "Pontiffs" , "Heads of the Roman Catholic church" .)
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
