In the Roman Catholic Church, it is required that a priest be celibate. This is to keep the priest from being distracted from doing God's will as a priest.

In the Eastern Catholic Church though, the priests are allowed to marry though. Lutheran and Episcopalian Priests are allowed to marry as well.

Yes, in some rare cases. If a married priest from another religion, such as Orthodox or Anglican, converts to Catholicism and decides to become a Catholic priest, he can remain 'married with children.'

There have been a few very rare cases where a priest has been allowed to adopt a child.
