Can we castle when their is check to a king?

No, if the king is in check or if any of the squares it must pass through is under attack, it cannot castle

I am confused by a castling move made by my opponent, where I had a bishop in a position that was blocking their castling move but they were still able to make the move. How was this possible?

Could you provide the link to the game where this happened?

Was the Bishop covering the square the King passed over?  (cannot castle)  Was the Bishop attacking the Rook?  (castling allowed)  Was the castling being done on the queen-side (0-0-0) and the Bishop was hitting the square on the b file? (castling allowed)
