The hole in the pope's chair, known as the "sedia stercoraria," symbolizes the pope's mortality and humility. It serves as a reminder that even the highest authority in the Catholic Church is human and subject to the same physical needs as everyone else. This tradition dates back to medieval times and is a visual representation of the pope's role as a servant of the people and a reminder of the transient nature of power.
Popes, like most humans, sit in a chair unless you referring to something else.

Catholic AnswerThe term commonly used for the teaching authority of the Popes on matters of faith and morals, in other words when they teach infallibly is: ex cathedrawhich literally means "from the chair" [of authority], this is the same chair that Jesus was talking about when he said that the teachers of the Jewish law spoke with the authority of Moses. When the Pope speaks ex cathedra his teaching is not dependent on consent of the Church and is irreformable.
Popes do not elect popes. Popes are elected by the cardinal electors.

In most cases it serves to indicate the number of popes who have taken that name. Benedict XVI means that there were 15 popes prior to the present one who have taken the name Benedict. Given the long history of the church and the vagaries of human history (to say nothing of the controversial anti-popes) the numbers are not always accurate. If I am not mistaken, the popes named John have not been accurately counted. There may be others. But there is really no significance beyond that; it's just a way to tell them apart.
How big a hole? If it is an upholstery hole, then perhaps you can match the fabric of the chair this way. If it is an overstuffed chair, there are frequently "skirts" around the leg of the chair. Go to the back of the chair and lift the "skirt". You will find an insert around the leg. This can be clipped for a small amount of material to match the chair without damaging the appearance of the upholstery. Carefully trim away the burn area, stuff the burn with cotton, then place the patch in the hole. BTW, buy some bonding material from the sewing shop, and keep it..it's useful. Place the bonding material around the edges of the burn, taking care not to let it come into view but making sure that it is all around the patch. Then heat with an iron according to manufacturer's directions. You have a repair for the chair. If this isn't satisfactory, then you might investigate going retro with arm covers and a head rest in complementary colors. Crocheted lace, shiny material, or denim chic are all good choices...and will cover the hole.
