celibacy freely chosen would serve as a great witness.

Wait a second...when is celibacy NOT freely chosen?

There are evidently lots of priests who took their vow of chastity with reservations. If someone marries another with reservations that invalidates the marriage.

Back in my college days, before I was married, I had long periods of celibacy-- not freely chosen by me, and I wished mightily it were not so.
