YES, TWO ANSWERS!
First, (for people who believe the Catholic tradition)
The Catholic church dates itself back to Peter as their first pope, who was married.
The elephant in the Catholic's room that they do not wish to discuss is how they do not allow popes (or priest) to marry, YET, their first pope was married.
Second, (for those who do not believe the Catholic tradition)
The Catholic church morphed out of the original church that was established and written about in The Bible. That original church had no problems with ministers or preachers being married. (the term priest\clergy had not been invented).
So before the Catholic church got up and running and organized as we know it today, the preachers teaching their doctrine were able to be married.

Is Sedevacantism Catholic?
Sedevacantism is the belief that the See of Rome is vacant - that is, they believe that the Pope is not really the Pope. Being Catholic means being in communion with the bishop of Rome, the pope. So if you reject that the pope is the pope, you are not Catholic. Sedevacantists are not members of the Catholic Church, though they would claim to be the only true members. The ritual and theology may be catholic in some sense, or reflective of a particular period in Catholic history, but in itself that does not make a person or a group Catholic.
