Describe one important difference between Roman Catholic and Anglican priests?
Easy, Catholic clergy are bishops, priests, and deacons who have been ordained into the sacrificial priesthood of Christ through the Apostolic succession, and thus carry Our Blessed Lord's mandate to minister to His people. Anglican clergy are protestants who lost apostolic succession and do not have a proper sacrificial priesthood. Please see Apostolicae Curae issued by Pope Leo XIII in 1896 on the validly of Anglican Orders:http://www.papalencyclicals.net/Leo13/l13curae.htm

Where do Anglican priests live and what title is given to the regional leader?
Anglican priests usually live in their own homes or, if the parish they serve has a parsonage, the priest and his family may choose to live there. The great majority of Anglican priests are married and live with their families. There are Anglican monasteries; however, the residents of a monastery are referred to as monks. A region of Anglican parishes is known as a Diocese and the head of a Diocese is called a Bishop. The head Bishop over all of the Anglican Bishops in a given country is called the Presiding Bishop and the head of all Anglicans, worldwide, is the Archbishop of Cantebury.

Is a male not a priest?
I'm not sure what you mean by the question, but if you mean can females be priests in the Catholic Church the answer is 'no'. Although there are movements within Catholicism to allow women to become priests, the willingness of the heirarchy to allow this is a long way off. However, in many other denominations such as the Anglican Church, Methodism, the URC and so on women can become priests or ministers with the same rights and privileges as men, and have been allowed for many years.
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.
Can a woman be a Cardinal in the Catholic Church?
Yes - but in a roundabout way. If the woman remains a Catholic, she will not even be allowed to be ordained a deacon or priest let alone a bishop, as in the Roman Catholic Church ordination of women is not allowed. However, if the woman left the Catholic Church altogether and became a member of the Anglican Church (which includes the Episcopalians in the USA), then women can and do become ordained deacons and priests and in some Anglican churches (especially the African Churches) are also allowed to become bishops. Recently, the Church of England, the 'mother Church' of the Anglican communion, has been debating the ordination of women bishops as a natural progression from the ordination of women priests which was passed in the 1990s. It has now been accepted but, as yet, no women bishops have been appointed.
Women Priests in the Catholic Church?
No there are no female priests in the Roman Catholic Church. A priest represents Jesus on the Alter and a woman cannot do that. Religious women can become nuns but not priests.
Did Catholic priests marry at any other time other than the 1st century?
Very much so. In fact marriage was common among priests way into the 11th and 12th centuries, the rule about celibacy in the priesthood being a relatively recent custom in the Roman Catholic Church. Also, there are many married Roman Catholic priests and deacons even today. Men ordained as deacons are free to marry with no restriction. However, priests are not. Nevertheless, there are some Anglican priests who have moved to Rome because of their disagreeing with the ordination of women in the Anglican church. many of these priests are married as there is no restriction on marriage for deacons priests or bishops within the Anglican Church. So many former Anglicans are now bona fide Catholic priests working and ministering in the Catholic Church, but are married. This has caused quite a bit of controversy among Catholic clergy who have given up normal family life for the priesthood and has, in many cases, opened up the whole question of celibacy in the priesthood and its enforcement for some and not for others.
