Pope Hormisdas (514 - 523) was the father of Pope Silverius (536 - 537).

While I can't answer the first part of your question I can address the second part. The celibacy rule for the priesthood is not a dogma, but rather what is known as a DISCIPLINE of the church. This means that the rule is changeable over time, and, in fact, celibacy has not always been enforced on the clergy.

"The second poop was the son of Pope Alexander the Sixth and poop Alexander the Sixths SISTER!"
