I have just two to offer which jumped out at me within 7 minutes of looking in;
2. an anagram (catholic priests = anagram of "pitch as cloister is"
5. Dombey and Son (novel by Charles Dickens) anagram of "banned sodomy)
(novel used as anagram indicator)
Looking forward to seeing solutions to the others.
Enjoyed the challenge, and thanks for your hard work, Jolan. Jg
PS My good wishes to redundantelf for your continued good recovery.
