Have you actually read Mr. Davie's book Sam, or are you simply leaping 
to a conclusion without any basis in fact?

He does pose some very interesting questions...

"...celibacy is required only for Latin Rite (Roman) priests but has no 
effect on other Catholic priests under authority of Rome, such as 
Marionites, who have been allowed to marry since the time of Christ, and 
married Anglican priests who converted, becoming Catholic priests while 
retaining their wives and children. Only Roman priests are forced to 
reject either the Sacrament of Matrimony or the Sacrament of Orders - 
Jesus infallibly allowed both."
