A small town I once lived in had a married priest. There are about a 100 former Episcopal priests who became Catholic priests even though they were married. http://www.opinionjournal.com/taste/?id=95000680

Eastern Catholic priests may be married before they are ordained. Eastern Rite Catholics, not to be confused with the Eastern Orthodox or more numerous Latin Rite Catholics are fully and 100% Catholic but retain the practices of the East.
