Tim Challies rightly reminds us that Pope Francis was the world's most well known and influential false teacher.
If your doctrine of showing kindness and respect forbids you to point out the sort of thing that Jesus and his apostles regularly pointed out concerning the particular danger of false teachers, and the need to clearly identify them, avoid them, and warn others against them, then it can't be the practice of the Son of God and those who told us to imitate them as they imitated him (1 Corinthians 11:1) that needs adjusting.
If you don't know in what points the published, official teachings of the Roman Catholic church - the ones that it is their stated aim to propagate, and which they do put vast resources into propagating - differ at essential points from the gospel of Jesus Christ, and at which they undermine and deny it - then the kindest thing you could do for the world's Roman Catholics is to study so that you can understand and clearly articulate that. There are said to be over a billion Roman Catholics in the world, so you're very likely going to meet a lot of them during the course of your life.
