Some of it did come from that. But remember also that there are plenty of non Catholic pastors who do not marry. I can think a few Lutheran pastors who never married, mainly because the felt they could not be a husband and a father at home and serve the congregation as it should be.

That is a personal choice, but it is not the biblical pattern. 1 Tim 3 makes that clear.
