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.

No, actually, it's truncated:

"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.
