another lingering souls

[Wackaman9001]

The local judge ruled against me but the situation was I cast {lingering souls} from my hand. After it resolved I tried to flash it back but my opponent used his {tormods crypt} to kill my graveyard. I'm 99% sure he couldnt have done that because I never passed priority and souls was never in my yard when he had priority. Was I right in this case?

This seems similar to the flashback thread of the same  {Lingering Souls}.

Once you announce you're casting it from the graveyard, its too late for the Crypt. The card will no longer be in the graveyard, and will be a spell in the stack.

Would the opponent not have priority to respond after lingering souls resolved the first time?

Only if priority was passed to him. After a spell resolves, the active player receives priority. In this case, the opponent would not yet have had a chance to do anything.

Yes but i thought because souls was a sorcery, once it resolved even with priority, you could only cast an instant in this case and would need priority to be passed away and back to you to cast a sorcery.

As long as its your turn and the stack is empty, you can cast a sorcery. It's kinda like how you can activate a PW's ability before the opponent can instant speed burn it.

Once the Lingering Souls resolves, priority will go straight to you, and as long as nothing else is resolving, you (the active player) gets the first chance to cast a spell or activate an ability.

Hearing all this. I'm starting to love the whole "priority" mechanic.

Ok to be clear, lets look at this. You cast {lingering souls} from your hand. You must now pass priority. {lingering souls} resolves, goes to your GY, you get the tokens, and regain priority. You may now flash it back, as the stack is empty and you have priority. {lingering souls} goes back on the stack, and your opponent is SOL. Show this to the 'judge' and find some rulings if you wish, but thts no judge imo.
