Weak, supporting Church of England? Not so! (9)

I believe the answer is:

forceless

'weak' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'supporting church of england? not so' is the wordplay.
'supporting' becomes 'for'.
'church of england?' becomes 'ce' (abbreviation).
'not so' becomes 'less' (I've seen this before).
'for'+'ce'+'less'='FORCELESS'

I've seen this clue in The Times.
