Are married Catholic priests expected to be chaste by the church?

Asked by AstroChuck (37609points) July 2nd, 2011 from iPhone

I read that here in Sacramento a married Lutheran minister converted to Catholicism and was allowed to enter the priesthood. It had me wondering if he is still allowed to fulfill his marital obligations or if the Roman Catholic church forbids him to make the beast priest with two backs. Anyone have the skinny on this?
