See problem having one brought into heaven (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

elysium

'heaven' is the definition.
(Elysium is an example)

'see problem having one brought into' is the wordplay.
'see' becomes 'ely' (example where cathedral located in diocese).
'problem' becomes 'sum' (arithmetic problem).
'having' says to put letters next to each other.
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'brought into' is an insertion indicator.
'ely'+'sum'='elysum'
'elysum' going around 'i' is 'ELYSIUM'.

(Other definitions for elysium that I've seen before include "Home of the blessed after death (Greek myth)" , "Home of the blessed dead in Greek myth" , "Slimy EU (anag.)" , "Delightful place" , "Greek abode of the blessed dead" .)
