after the stain was defaced" instead of saying "after the underpass was defaced". Does anyone else see the difference here or am I being too particular about how carefully the media should choose their words?
Does this mean CNN is Catholic since they believe the stain is deface?
Some people found it to be manifestation of their faith so someone defaced the image because they didn’t feel the same.

Yeah I wouldn’t doubt it. It’s blackened just like a meteorite would be from entering earth’s atmosphere though I don’t think they ever allowed the rock to be studied. Muslims say it turned black from absorbing the sins of pilgrims.

I think the reason for saying it was the Virgin Mary stain and not an underpass is because...Well, who in their right mind would want to read about a vandal defacing a bridge on national news? The link you provided was from CNN. They're going to report about something that holds a lot of people's interest. That stain did, the underpass did not.
It's all about marketing

I’m sorry Nygdan but why does someone else’s faith need to conform to your ideas of faith?
It really doesn’t matter what you think…it matters what the faithful think. When I say faithful I refer to the people that believe it’s a vision of Mary.
Do you think Muslims worship an ordinary rock? Is it ridiculous to you?
Is it okay to destroy the rock because you don’t believe?
Should we not have respect for the beliefs of others?
Again how is your lack of faith more important than someone else’s faith?

The person who did it was being mean.

I find it blasphemous that somebody would say this is an image of Mary.
is a body of an alien inside. Quite small, of course.

We should respect the beliefs of others, even if we don't share them.
