“They forbid people to marry”

No one is forbidden to marry. Priests choose not to marry.

As for their vocation, God calls them to the priesthood.

I'm sure that explains the men who were priests who left the priesthood to marry because they couldn't do both.

Priests are forbidden to marry. A man cannot choose to be married AND a priest.
