You didn’t answer the question.
Why did the Church turn away from the teachings of Jesus’ first Apostles and forbid Priests and Bishops the freedom to marry?
I’m talking about those who directly become Catholic Priests. I’m not asking about C of E converts.

Paul commends celibacy, and Jesus commends celibacy for those who are called to it. Since the Church has the power to bind and loose, She has the authority to determine the criteria for priesthood. No one is forced to be a priest, so no one is forced not to marry. Regardless, there are some married priests in all Rites. Priestly celibacy is a discipline, not a dogma.
