What's with a parish Priest who is married?

[MGAnd]

While on vacation, I recently attended Mass where the Pastor was married; he was formerly an Anglican priest. His wife and children were present that Sunday. I realize that there are many priests who have gone from Canterbury to Rome, and vice versa, but I was wondering if you had the numbers of such priests in the US serving in parishes. It would seem to be an interesting conundrum. The parish loved him and generally had no problems with the situation, either practically or theologically. Your thoughts?
