Note the use of the word “Muslim” in the above quoted sentence.
It seems to be accepted that non-Muslim women are outside of the rules.
Muslim men have to lower their gaze. It doesnt matter if its a muslim woman, or a christian woman or a atheist woman.
They can not even LOOK and stare at women, let alone have any kind of physical contact with them.
The Virgin Mary is also the Immaculate Conception (sinless), and clearly a unique case.
To look at the issue from another point of view, no one that I’ve heard of has ever suggested that Catholic men clothe themselves as Christ did, a mode of dress that really, came into being because it was practical for the climate. Temperate Europe and North America are quite a different matter
The idea is…if Mary (may God be pleased with her) was here, she would appear to look more like a MUSLIM woman than a Christian woman. She might even be called a “terrorist” and told to “go back to her country” on the street. May Allah guide and forgive people for their ignorance.
