[Notwithstanding]

What part of "voluntary life long commitment" do you not undestand?

For ALL Christians, our natural state is being bound to sexual abstinence unless we choose to marry in the Church. Chastity is voluntary for NOBODY (FYI: chastity for the married is fidelity to each other and to humanae vitae, chastity for the unmarried is zero sexual relations, celibacy also adds that one has voluntarily committed to NEVER marry).

Those who do NOT volunteer to be married are morally obligated to a life of absolute abstinence.

Ordination is voluntary - and those who volunteer to be ordained know that they are commiting themselves to a celibate life (can NEVER marry).

Marriage is voluntary - and those who volunteer to be married know that they are commiting themselves to life of fidelity.
