I actually feel sorry for rites and denominations that don't have celibate priests. Celibate men are free to join any denomination or Eastern Rite. Apparently, they just don't.
The truth be told, there are many men in the Catholic priesthood who are not celibate first. They are priests first, and struggle with celibacy later.

Then they should not have been ordained. As a matter of fact, if what you say is true, they lied to get ordained in the first place.
