CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Is this an Orthodox priest? Or a Catholic priest? Or some other kind of priest? The video didn’t seem to specify.

I recognize the speaker's face. He is the Rt. Rev. John Spong, who served as the Episcopal bishop of Newark (northern New Jersey) from 1979-2000.
CF participants may recognize Bishop Spong's name, even if they don't know his face. He was a very liberal theologian, and many on CF will disagree with much of what he believed. I disagree with many things that he wrote. But he also had some insightful things to say, and he did important work within the Episcopal church that I am grateful for. In his role as bishop, I saw him act with great compassion towards the people in his care.

I did a little sleuthing. This video is of an interview retired Episcopal bishop John Shelby Spong did with Keith Morrison of Dateline NBC back in August of 2006.

So who you gonna' believe. . .this "priest" or the Lord Jesus?Pretty much his views are exactly what I believe.
"As for me and my house we will believe the Lord" (Josh 24:15) Jesus in Mk 9:43-48.
"If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life maimed than with two hands to go into hell, where the fire never goes out (where their worm does not die and the fire is not quenched). If your foot. . .your eye cause you to sin. . .cut it off. . .pluck it out... it is better to enter life crippled. . .(or) the kingdom of God with one eye. . .than to be thrown into hell where. . .the fire is not quenched."

a "burning hell does not exist" ... hell is the land of of dead (the grave) ... a dormant sleep .... all wait there until they are resurrected .... ALL will be resurrected one day ... the 1st unto everlasting life .... the second to everlasting death (the 2nd death)

Gehenna is far worse than Sheol. The worm doesn't even die. The fire doesn't go out.
