None, with the following exception.
In the last twenty-five years at least seventy-seven married men have been ordained as Catholic priests in the United States.
Sixty-six of these married priests are former Episcopalians, seven are former Lutherans, three are former Methodists, and one is a former Presbyterian.

With love in Christ.

Married men may not be ordained priests in the Latin Rite. Married men can be ordained under some circumstances in the Eastern Rites of the Catholic Church. There are married priests in the Latin Rite (not many). These are married men who were ordained in Christian denominations that have Holy Orders recognized by the Catholic Church.

None that I know of. There has been discussion of it in the US but so far nothing Some are threatening to break away from Rome & have an American Catholic Church that will also allow married women priests (not nuns)

It is theologically possible for a man to be both married and ordained. Typically, Protestant ministers who have married in their original church, and then converted to Catholicism, can become priests. This is a rarity in the Latin Rite of the Catholic Church.
