Catholics do not believe that the wine and wafers physically turn into pieces of a 2000 year old human corpse. There will not be any ancient DNA in a consecrated host. The doctrine of transubstantiation refers to the fact that the wine and wafers metaphysically become the body and blood of Christ.

Incidentally, neither the celibacy or robes are necessary to perform the sacrament.

The official rule book is quite different from just a metaphysical relationship.
