What does it mean? It seems to fly in the face of common sense and experience.
The above is my way of saying, "Huh? I don't give me some help, please."

RC's often say that DeMontfort goes too far and was in a state of extacy, or something like that. But then those RCs say that DeMontfort's opinions are not official RC doctrine.
BUT you also have popes that honor and even make pilgramages to DeMontfort's grave. So we have this whole grey area of Marianism, we have John Paul "the most Marian pope of all" and then we have De Montfort. It's a slippery slope with no reason not to go all the way down to De Montfort level.
So then we get:
5. Mary is the supreme masterpiece of Almighty God and he has reserved the knowledge and possession of her for himself. She is the glorious Mother of God the Son who chose to humble and conceal her during her lifetime in order to foster her humility. He called her "Woman" as if she were a stranger, although in his heart he esteemed and loved her above all men and angels. Mary is the sealed fountain and the faithful spouse of the Holy Spirit where only he may enter. She is the sanctuary and resting-place of the Blessed Trinity where God dwells in greater and more divine splendour than anywhere else in the universe, not excluding his dwelling above the cherubim and seraphim. No creature, however pure, may enter there without being specially privileged.
