Was Paul a bishop? If so, of what see? Paul told Timothy that the best why to determine if a Christian is cut out to be an overseer (episcopus) is to look at that person's family. "If he cannot manage his own family, how can he manage God's?" was the Apostle's reasoning. We saw how V Gene Robinson managed his family (abandoned his wife and kids for another man) therefore he has no business being a bishop. Apostolorum fide ambulemur.

Since Saint Paul ordained Titus, amongst many others, then the answer to your question is, yes.
