the Pope and a crossword puzzle

A businessman is getting on a flight when he hears from another passenger that the Pope is going to be on the flight.
"WOW, great!", he thinks, being a devout Christian, "What a great place to be today."
Just before the aircraft doors are closed, the Pope enters the plane, and
to the guy's delight, sits next to him. "I am surely blessed", the man
thinks.
Here I am, a good Catholic on a flight, with the Pope sitting next to me.
The plane takes off and after a few minutes the passengers take off their
seat belts. The man looks sideways and sees the Pope reaching into his bag to take out a crossword book. "Marvelous", he thinks, "not only am I
blessed with the Pope next to me but he does crosswords and so do I".
He notices that the Pope is working his way through the puzzle, and that
His Holiness is tapping his pencil, thinking. After a little while of
pencil taping, the Pope turns to him and says, "I usually don't talk to
anyone on flights, but I wonder if you can help me?"
"Anything Your Holiness.. What is it?"
"Do you know a four letter word that ends in 'u-n-t' that means something
associated with Pelosi?"
The man feels uncomfortable. He thinks and thinks. Finally he says, "The
only word I can think of is aunt."
The Pope looks at him and asks, "Do you have an eraser?"
