Thanks Big Dave.
fat(substantial) + i + MA(scholar)
I thought I had given the wordplay - it's just that Fatima is not a shrine, but the person to whom the shrine is dedicated.
BigDave, Fatima is the name of a village in Portugal where the virgin mary was supposedly sighted in 1917. So it's a shrine in the sense that lots of Catholics make a pilgrimage to it.
Thanks for that - I didn't realise that it was also the name of the place.

I found this, and didn't read any further:
