What denominations accept remarried pastors?
The Presbyterian Church in the USA does - I can't speak for other denominations. ELCA Lutherans would be okay with that.
Why are ministers converting from the Anglican church to Catholicism?
The Anglican Church tries to be a universal Church at the same time as it lacks the disciplined hierarchy of the Roman Catholic Church. General decisions for the Anglican Communion as a whole are made by consensus or vote, with individual bishops having considerable latitude in implementing or opposing those decisions. Two decision that have been welcomed by some bishops but strenuously opposed by others, are the ordination of women as priests and the the ordination of homosexuals as priests. Some conservative ministers who feel they can not accept these decisions have chosen to leave the faith and become priests in the Roman Catholic Church.
Why did the Catholic Church in the past accept kings to live polygamous and own mistresses?
It didn't accept that.
Why should women be Catholic priests?
Some people would say why not. The arguments against are divided into two sections. The first is that Jesus didn't choose any women to be his apostles and so, by example we should have men as priests. Another is that it is tradition - we have never had women priests so why start now? As the question is about Catholic priests (not other Christian traditions) it might be useful to see whether the church is consistent with its handling of other situations - married priests for example. Several of the men Jesus chose to follow him were married. Currently the church will accept married men who, as priests, convert from another church and allow them to continue as priests. The church will not allow an unmarried priest to marry. The basic question here is would God call a woman to be a priest? If it is God's will then how can the church deny it? The difficulty here is who decides whether it is God's will or not and what would be the outcome if things changed? As only men can be priests and the hierarchy of the church is made up of priests the leadership is, by definition, men. So, the decision about who should be priests is made by men. There is always a fear that changes in the church would cause division and weaken the position of the church - however with some countries having a very low Catholic church attending population the power of the church has already been significantly eroded. Some would say that having women priests could even strengthen the church.

How do Lutherans see god?
Lutherans are a mainstream Christian denomination and they regard God in the same way as all other orthodox churches like the Roman Catholics, Methodists, Baptists etc. The only difference between the Lutherans and, say, the Roman Catholics, is that, as they are a protestant Church they still uphold all Christian beliefs but do not accept the authority of the Pope nor the other members of the Roman Catholic heirarchy. Doctrine between the two churches (provided that it is Bible based) is very similar, but Lutherans do not accept man-made doctrine such as purgatory, limbo, prayer to saints as intermediaries, infallibility of the Pope, priestly celibacy and so on. But their beliefs about God are all the same.
