Vatican dignitary (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cardinal

(Other definitions for cardinal that I've seen before include "Possibly one" , "Red American songbird" , "Main point of compass - most important" , "Leading RC dignitary" , "Word to describe one or two" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
