The vow is only with regards to not marrying, not the fornication which is natural.

In those days, when the Roman Catholic Clergy married, the children of the Clergy inherited the property of their parents.  Once the Church no longer recognized a marriage within the clergy the property of that Bishop, Priest or Nun now became property of the Church.
