No one is opposed to celibacy. That can be as beautiful a way of life as marriage. It's the legally imposed, mandated character of celibacy which gets in the way of full communion. The essence of mandatory celibacy lies in its exclusion of women. By now you may also have concluded that mandatory celibacy's exclusion of women also requires their exclusion from presiding at the Eucharist.
Mandatory celibacy IS the exclusion of women.
You may find this a bit strong and you probably didn't bargain for this kind of argument when you submitted your question. But I would like to go even further and suggest that it may well be this Eucharistic apartheid which is the unconscious root of young people's reluctance to enter the priesthood.
