The snag about a guy going to church (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

catch

'the snag' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'a guy going to church' is the wordplay.
'a guy' becomes 'cat' (I've seen this in other clues).
'going to' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'church' becomes 'ch' (common abbreviation).
'cat'+'ch'='CATCH'

'about' is the link.

(Other definitions for catch that I've seen before include "Snag - trap" , "Be in time to see" , "Ensnare" , "Trap - hear - contract" , "Apprehend - funny song" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
