It's from the Gospel of St Al the Manbearpig

I am amazed that most politicians have no problem “quoting” the Bible when it is pretty obvious they haven’t bothered to sit down and read it.
Or the “Book of John”
Liberals...
Now they’re making up false “scripture” to support the new liberal “religion”. Talk about buiding your house on sand.
Next thing they’ll be telling us the verses she quoted are “fake but accurate”.
Sheesh...
Not surprising Pelosi can’t get her scripture right.
Give her a break. Catholics are not as good as the Baptists at spouting Bible verses. lol. Yes I am a Catholic and can attest to that. We had neighbors who were Baptists and they practically knew the entire Bible by heart while I was struggling to learn the ten commandments for my Catholic Grade school Religon test the next day. lol.
When you belong to the party of Satan, it isn't surprising that you would get the Bible so wrong.
Of course, I was raised Episcopalian and had my 12-year Sunday School pin, but even in those days Piskies weren't big on Scripture. So maybe it's because I went to a Presbyterian high school where one year of Old Testament and one year of New Testament were required courses? Or maybe because I just like reading the Bible?
Our parish even has Vacation Bible School now!
P.S. Pelousy is an idiot.
"Be sure your sin will find you out."
Isn’t the full title “The Apocalypse of St. John the Divine”?
She probably meant this scripture:
Rom 1:21 For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him. Instead, their thoughts turned to worthless things, and their ignorant hearts were darkened.
Rom 1:22 Though claiming to be wise, they became fools Rom 1:23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images that looked like mortal human beings, birds, four-footed animals, and reptiles.
Rom 1:24 For this reason, God gave them over to impurity to follow the lusts of their hearts and to dishonor their bodies with one another.
Rom 1:25 They exchanged God's truth for a lie and worshipped and served the creation rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
Rom 1:26 For this reason, God gave them over to degrading passions. Even their females exchanged their natural sexual function for one that is unnatural.
Rom 1:27 In the same way, their males also abandoned the natural sexual function of females and burned with lust for one another. Males committed indecent acts with males, and received in themselves the appropriate penalty for their perversion.
Rom 1:28 Furthermore, because they did not think it worthwhile to retain the full knowledge of God, God gave them over to degraded minds to perform acts that should not be done.
Rom 1:29 They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed, and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, quarreling, deceit, and viciousness. They are gossips,
Rom 1:30 slanderers, God-haters, haughty, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to their parents,
Rom 1:31 foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless.
Rom 1:32 Although they know God's just requirement-that those who practice such things deserve to die-they not only do these things but even applaud others who practice them.
I find it interesting that these new pagans, the ones who worship the earth, the creation, the environment, are exactly the ones who generally espouse the other things Paul was referring to.
I understood. I find that those who don’t know the bible, when they quote from John, they say “the book of John”, not “The Gospel According To John.” I gotcha.
That sound you heard was Bible theologians scratching their heads. LOL!
Good one. I’ll have to remember that.
And the rest of us all respond (in chant): "Glory be to Thee, O Lord."
The really hard-core lector then chants the entire Gospel, concluding with, "The Gospel of the Lord."
Whereupon we chant, "Praise be to Thee, Lord Jesus Christ."
. . . at least that's the way hard-core "High Anglicans" (a/k/a Catholic Lite) do it.
Well, most Christians would call it the Gospel of John anyway.
And the call-response is the same even in the bogus ordo, minus the chant, of course.
"A reading from the Gospel according to St. John."
"Glory to you, Lord."
"The Gospel of the Lord."
"Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ."
And it's not fair to call it "bogus ordo." That's ugly (and disobedient). It is a valid and ordinary form of the Roman Rite, and it can be celebrated correctly and reverently, as it is in our parish.
I will grant you that it is more open to abuse by priests and congregations who are inclined to take advantage, but that is not necessarily the case.
And I will grant you in return that Il Papa celebrated it in a most moving and reverential manner on his visit, though I have to say there were still some moments that made me cringe. The new translation can’t come soon enough. It didn’t hurt that they used the Roman Canon though.
In fact, it made me homesick for the parish I was confirmed in... I kind of miss it.
