2. Because Mary remained hidden during her life she is called by the Holy Spirit and the Church "Alma Mater", Mother hidden and unknown. So great was her humility that she desired nothing more upon earth than to remain unknown to herself and to others, and to be known only to God.

Back to overt Marianism:

How does De Montefort know what Mary desired? Also, if the Holy Spirit calls her "Alma Mater" where is that recorded?

Also, I'd avoid taking De Montfort as a source of official doctrine. I happen to enjoy his Gallic excess, but I like snails too.

Yeah, I’ve never seen anything that the HS said about Mary or anything else for that matter. He inspired the writers of the gospel and not much was said about Mary, certainly not anyone calling her Alma Mater.
