Not really ... Pope Gregory VII introduces the celibacy of the priesthood in 1079 AD In the New Testament says the exact opposite, according to Paul the "Bishop" should have a family, because:
. .. a bishop must be blameless, the husband of one wife, temperate, prudent, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, not given to wine, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not covetous. He must manage his own good family and his children under with all dignity, because if one does not know how to manage his own family, how can he take care of the church of God? "(1st Epistle to Timothy, chap. 3)
