How the clue works
The whole clue, Religious leader who's gone off the record, is a cryptic definition playing on the idea of the official papal record. An ANTIPOPE is someone who claimed to be pope but wasn't officially recognised, so they're literally "off the record" — the record being the accepted list of popes.
