People are sticklers for tradition and Doctrine. And there’s no bigger stickler for selective adherence to tradition and Doctrine then the Catholic Church. Even if it’s well past apparent there should be serious discussion among Church leaders about the pros and cons of certain Doctrines and traditions.
It’s “Their Bride/One true love is the church” type of doctrine. And to be fair. At one point centuries ago it may have actually worked. That is of course before the lay people and various Elites/Nobles realized they could eliminate needing to be faced with family disappointments by shunting them off to the Clergy and Religious Life.
Though the marriage rule isn’t completely binding. There’s I think 1 or maybe two regional sects. That while they technically are under the authority of the Roman Church. Have some exceptions to traditional doctrine made in their specific cases.

When the bible clearly states "forbid not to marry". They simply don't care what the bible says as long as they can control people.
