There are, I believe, several dozen married RC priests currently serving in good stead...former Episcopal ministers, married at the time they moved to the RC church, under some dispensation they are allowed to remain married...

The rule is married men can become priests, the exception to the rule in the Latin rite. But in no rite can Priests marry.
