IOW, in the context of the entire passage, "Celibacy is OK, but not required to serve God."
Celibacy is a higher calling, highly praised and practiced by Christ, the Apostles and St. Paul, to mention just a few examples. Those seeking marriage and ordination have 21 Churches to choose from within the Catholic Church or the diaconate within the Latin Rite. Therefore, much of what Dreher, et al, opine on is for all intents and purposes, meaningless gum flapping. The Latin Rite asks that those seeking the Sacrament of Holy Orders, in order to more fully live out the teachings of Christ, the Apostles and St. Paul, to forsake all for the Kingdom, as Scripture teaches.
True. It's also true that one is not required to be a priest in order to serve God. Celibacy, like the priesthood itself, is a choice for some but not for all.
Wanna be married? Fine.
Wanna be a priest? Fine.
Wanna be a married priest? Fine. But that would be a pretty good clue that you don't want to be a Latin-rite priest.
