Room to accommodate Arab's Catholic belief (8)
I believe the answer is:
romanism
'catholic belief' is the definition.
'Romanism' can be an answer for 'belief' (Romanism is an example). I am unsure of the 'catholic' bit.
'room to accommodate arab's' is the wordplay.
'room' becomes 'rm' (abbreviation).
'to accommodate' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'arab's' becomes 'Omani's' (someone from Oman).
'rm' enclosing 'omanis' is 'ROMANISM'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
