No, the requirement of celibacy in the Western Christian Church was required by time of the Lateran Council in 1215, though the practice was instituted in various areas beforehand.
An interesting thing about celibacy in Catholic orders is that it is considered a discipline, not a doctrine or dogma, so it is possible that there may be a time when celibacy will no longer be required. Already, there are married Catholic priests in the church's Eastern rites, as well as fomer Anglican and other Protestant ministers who have received permission to be ordained as Roman Catholic priests, though married and with families. Time will tell.

Were priests allowed to marry in the conclusion of the Council of Trent?
The Council of Trent seemed to affirm the practice of the Latin church requiring celibacy of its major orders (understood then as presbyter, deacon, and subdeacon). Minor clerics were allowed to be married, but consider second-class compared to celibate clerics. The 24th Session, in canon 10, anathematized anyone who claimed that marriage was a higher state than virginity or celibacy or who denied that it was better and more blessed to remain in virginity or celibacy than to be married. This applies to all Christians, though, and not just clergy. What this did was affirm that celibacy was a valid option for priests. Combined with the professionalization of the presbyterate and the formal education now required, the practical effect was that the requirement of celibacy (since Lateran Council I in 1123) was for the first time being universally received and put into practice, because of Trent.
