Do Catholics Have to Respect Everyone?

Sometimes it can be hard to respect the character of a person you
really don’t like. That’s no problem, says Fr. Mike, because you
can still respect them as a human being and—if they are in a
position of authority—you can still respect their position. Not
everyone in our lives is going to earn the kind of respect that Fr.
Mike would equate with trust. Those who have a respectable
character will earn that trust though, and that’s the kind of
person we should strive to be in other people’s lives.
