Respect should not be confused with liking everyone. It is a form of love: a desire for another to come to salvation in Christ.
And the devil is in the details, as this yet allows for imprisonment and torture of theological dissenters, or suspects or even witnesses, and slaying of the convicted (and often prolonged imprisonment in any case), all in the name of Christ.
And it is reasonable to expect you would have affirmed that kind of respect in such periods as the 13th century due to its papal sanction, and justify under the rubric of doing what is best for their souls, but which is contrary to what the NT teaches on the means the church used for proactive discipline, as that required spiritual power.
