YOu have a lot to learn. For starters, not all priests take a vow of poverty. I think most diocesan priests take a vow of chastity and obedience, but not one of poverty. They may inherit great wealth and keep it, write books, etc. This situation isn't new.

Priests who live in community takes vows of poverty. I'm not sure all do, however.

You must differentiate between dogma, which is forever, and practice, which may change.

All are called to live a life of chastity (married people included); priests take a vow of celibacy. There's a difference.
