Take the diocesan view (3)
I believe the answer is:
see
This might be a double definition.
'take' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)
'diocesan view' is the second definition.
'see' can be an answer for 'view' (I've seen this in another clue). I am not certain of the 'diocesan' bit.
'the' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for see that I've seen before include "judge" , "Observe the bishop's domain" , "Bishop's diocese" , "Chelmsford" , "Understand; view" .)
