Understand a Catholic church point (6)
I believe the answer is:
accept
'understand' is the definition.
(I know that understand is a kind of accept)
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for accept that I've seen before include "Believe to be correct; take on" , "Welcome" , "Reply in the affirmative" , "Receive something proffered" , "Acknowledge" .)
