Traditions.

Not scripture. Not calling from God, tradition.

That is the excuse for forcing those called to the priest hood to take a vow of celibacy whether they want to or not.

Frankly If God intended that there should be only celibate priests in the Latin rite perhaps if they dropped the requirement they would be blessed by only candidates willing to do so.

You don't seem to get it. No man is "forced" into the priesthood. Either their vocation is to the religious life, or it's not. Nobody puts a gun to their heads.
