Unless I missed it in all the comments, I'm surprised no one has addressed the real can of worms opened by this article. The problem for the Catholic Church, as with Judaism and Islam, was called out for the world to see in the Diet of Worms in 1521 by Johann Eck, assistant to the Archbishop of Trier and spokesman for Emperor Charles V, when he addressed Martin Luther:  'there is no one of the heresies which have torn the bosom of the church, which has not derived its origin from the various interpretation of the Scripture. The Bible itself is the arsenal whence each innovator has drawn his deceptive arguments." The Bible, like the Quran, is full of the relics of bad theology. God by definition cannot have a "change of heart," but clearly over the span of time the Bible was written, less so for the Quran (which is puzzling, given its many conflicting commands toward peace and Jihad), the people's understanding of their God changed.  Unfortunately, the Church left these relics in place.
