Here we are again: stuck on last one.
2d) A pope halped to publish the works of this religious leader (5)
I have P?I?R and assume it's PRIOR, but just can't parse it fully...

Helped, not halped.

Oh I don't know, sometimes it's less erudition and more scrabbling around - but it's the end result that matters.
