Something written with diplomacy about a religious leader? (5)
I believe the answer is:
tract
'something written' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'diplomacy about a religious leader?' is the wordplay.
'diplomacy' becomes 'tact' (tact can mean diplomacy or sensitivity).
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'leader?' suggests taking the first letters (I've seen 'leaders' mean this).
The initial letter of 'religious' is 'r'.
'tact' placed around 'r' is 'TRACT'.
'with' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tract that I've seen before include "religious work, often" , "religious work in > area" , "Large area of land or small booklet" , "Publication" , "Religious treatise" .)
