'was inclined to' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'told lies about a saint' is the wordplay.
'told lies' becomes 'lied' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'about' is an insertion indicator.
'a saint' becomes 'st' (abbreviation).
'lied' going around 'st' is 'LISTED'.

'have' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
