"The question then becomes, how many married men does the Church chose to ordain?"
None, nada, zero!!!!!!!
The married priests coming over from the Anglican, Lutheran, Methodist, and Presbyterian churches are too many as it is. Their existence confuses the laity. The Holy Father must have had a bad day when he decided to allow it.

The "laity" are not confused; they see married men serving large parishes and see no reason why more married men can't serve the Church.
Celibacy has little witness value to lay people; they want good men to minister to them, married or celibate.
