I suspect that CDN got it from the first episode of the new tv series, "The Borgias" where the newly-elected pope had to sit in a special seat with a hole in it where a cleric could verify his physical qualificiation for the office.

Just to clarify, that was a very ancient requirement for ordination dating from the very first centuries of Christianity, right up to the changes in Church law made by the Second Vatican Council fifty years ago. One other was that a dwarf could not be a priest. There were several others which seem discriminatory today.
