"a benign and uncontentious person who is indifferent to matters of principle; one who tries never to offend anybody"
the meaning is clear but the term is supposed to be used in a heading/title so it requires a nest and short equivalent

pochlebca
Pomyślałam najpierw o "podlizuchu", co byłoby bardziej kolokwialną opcją, ale jeśli to nagłówek, to może być zbyt kolokwialnie.
Example sentence:
Przyjaciel pochlebca nie jest już przyjacielem i należy mieć się przed nim na baczności.

zadowalacz
Nieformalne słowo, ale na stałe weszło do powszechnego użycia.
Note from asker:
| I like this one and its hard to dispute with the specialized article but the context is religious in nature so the client might not accept this particular word in Polish as it might bring about some unwanted connotations :) |
