That would depend in part on what his motivation is to remain celibate. According to Jesus; Matthew 19:12 For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.

If the College of Cardinals is permitted to elected a married man as pope how would the policy of celibacy be applied to such a man?
I would imagine, that on the outside chance this ever occurred, the new pope would be allowed to keep his wife. When a married cleric from a non Catholic religion converts to Catholicism and is ordained, he is allowed to remain married. He would probably have to remain celibate, however. This is similar to the permanent diaconate where, once ordained, the new deacon must remain celibate but married. However, as long as his wife survives he would be unable to be ordained as a priest. It has been centuries since the Church elected a non cardinal as pope so the chances of this situation ever arising is remote.

Why do people remain celibate?
People remain celibate for many reasons. One reason is that they live alone and are single, divorced, or a widow/widower and there just isn't a person in their life.

Others have a medical reason such as disease or physical impairment. For others it is a religious/spiritual reason. As you can see the reason's vary with people and all are valid for each person. It is a personal choice in many cases.
