No.Limburger:

"Thus, given that there is no indication that anyone in the wizarding world attends church services or is in any way religious, it seems unlikely that there would have been an active influence from the Catholic Church on the wizarding world; but education would more likely be an influence."

NO indication?

>Harry was baptized.
>The Hogwarts ghosts include monks, nuns, and friars.
>Bible quotes on the Potter and Dumbledore monuments.
>Wizardling families represented in the Christian graveyard in DH.
>Wizards celebrate Christmas, All Saints, and Easter (the only carols mentioned specifically were religious ones, not secular).

There is more indication of religious life among the Wizards than among the Muggles!  When did the Dursleys ever go to church, or send Dudders to Sunday School?
