In the morning, sex with a female knocked over Catholic shrine (6)

I believe the answer is:

fatima

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'catholic shrine' is the definition.
'fatima' can be an answer for 'shrine' (I've seen this before). I am not certain of the 'catholic' bit.

'in the morning sex with a female knocked over' is the wordplay.
'in the morning' becomes 'am' (short for ante meridiem - before noon).
'sex' becomes 'it' (a common euphemism).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'female' becomes 'f' (common abbreviation).
'knocked over' says the letters should be written backwards.
'am'+'it'+'a'+'f'='amitaf'
'amitaf' reversed gives 'FATIMA'.

(Other definitions for fatima that I've seen before include "Portuguese place of RC pilgrimage" , "Youngest daughter of Muhammad" , "Famous basilica-shrine in Portugal, or Muhammad's daughter" , "Catholic shrine in Portugal or Mohammed's daughter" , "Female" .)
