And this is where the RCC doctrine falls apart once again. They have replaced the Bible with doctrines of men in order to sustain their beliefs. God does not have the final say in the RCC, doctrine and traditions of men take the place of His FINAL WORD. It’s no surprise that each and every false belief they put their trust into comes straight from man and is diametrically opposed to God’s Word.
The Council of Trent considered the matter and at its twenty-fourth session decreed that marriage after ordination was invalid: "If any one saith, that clerics constituted in sacred orders, or Regulars, who have solemnly professed chastity, are able to contract marriage, and that being contracted it is valid, notwithstanding the ecclesiastical law, or vow; and that the contrary is no thing else than to condemn marriage; and, that all who do not feel that they have the gift of chastity, even though they have made a vow thereof, may contract marriage; let him be anathema: seeing that God refuses not that gift to those who ask for it rightly, neither does He suffer us to be tempted above that which we are able" (canon 9).
It also decreed, concerning the relative dignity of marriage and celibacy: "If any one saith, that the marriage state is to be placed above the state of virginity, or of celibacy, and that it is not better and more blessed to remain in virginity, or in celibacy, than to be united in matrimony; let him be anathema."[73

IF Rome wants to decree its priests have to be celibate they can do so. But Rome cannot appeal to "tradition" and claim this was always the way.
