Catholic Answer
The Catholic Church has always had married priests, as a matter of fact married priests are the norm in the Eastern Rites of the Church, only the Latin Rite has a rule of only ordaining men who have taken a vow of celibacy. This has been in effect from the very beginning as St. Paul explains in 1 Corinthians 7. Over the centuries there have been different areas where Latin rite priests have had a problem following this rule and various rulings have been made in different areas to deal with the problems. But, basically from the very early Church Bishops were celibate and priests could have been either especially when Christianity was still illegal and punishable by death.

How can you find married priests in the Catholic Church?
Roman Catholic priests are required to be celibate and refrain from marriage and all sexual activity including masturbation and fantasy.In the early centuries of Christianity and into the fourth century, it was not uncommon for clergy to be married and even to have children. However, after their ordination, clerics were required to be continent (i.e. refrain from sexual relations with their wives).The Council of Elvira in 306 prohibited clergy from sexual intercourse as did the Council of Nicaea in 325 and the Council of Carthage in about 390.For Orthodox Christians and Eastern Catholics, The Council of Quinisext in 692 permitted conjugal relations between priests and deacons and their wives. Therefore, married priests and deacons are the norm in Orthodoxy and Uniat Churches, but celibacy has remained the norm in Latin Rite Roman Catholicism.In certain circumstances however, Protestant or Anglican clergy who are received in the Catholic Church may be permitted to remain married and be ordained in the Catholic Church, provided their spouses consent.Therefore, only Catholic priests who have converted from another denomination could be expected to be married. In any case this is not the norm or ideal.

Why are married priests allowed?
1. They don't. If a married clergy member of another religion wishes to be a part of the Catholic clergy they may become deacons, not priests. Deacons are defined as the servants of the servants of God (Priests). You can be married when becoming a Deacon, however if you are not married before becoming a Deacon you cannot get married after the fact. Many people may confuse the two, but these jobs are very different. ---- 2. The above answer is incorrect. The Catholic Church has (and does) by special permission allow certain Anglican and Orthodox married priests who convert to Catholicism to serve as Catholic Priests.
