Right country for Catholic (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

roman

'catholic' is the definition.
(Roman Catholic is an example)

'right country' is the wordplay.
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'country' becomes 'oman' (Oman is an example).
'r'+'oman'='ROMAN'

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for roman that I've seen before include "Like a type" , "A novel" , "See 19" , "(Of a nose) high-bridged" , "Type of candle, nose etc" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
