13. (7) The Holy Spirit espoused Mary and produced his greatest work, the incarnate Word, in her, by her and through her. He has never disowned her and so he continues to produce every day, in a mysterious but very real manner, the souls of the elect in her and through her. This is why De Montfort is my hero. He really knows his Marianism.

From Webster's 1828 Dictionary, espoused is defined as: Betrothed; affianced; promised in marriage by contract; married; united intimately; embraced.

De Montfort was likely (and we will never precisely know) using the word espoused in sense that the Holy Spirit was "united intimately" with Mary in the Virgin Birth. Nowhere does de Montfort claim that the Mary was the wife of the Holy Spirit.

I am still curious whether or not you were planning to respond to my questions in #274? Or way you quote from de Montfort all you have?
