Sorry the reply has taken some time. 
 
What is SCN view on Roman Catholicism ?
  
Pastor Arnold Murray has a litmus test for determining a good church from a bad one. 

The Roman Catholic Church fails that test. 

The Roman Catholic Church does not teach "who the Kenites are," (i.e. that the people commonly called Jews are the literal offspring of Satan and Eve).

According to Dr. Murray, the only churches that Christ is pleased with are those that teach, "who the Kenites are," (as he does). That the people who are commonly known as Jews are actually imposters, and are in fact the children of the devil, in a very literal sense.
 
In that the Catholic Church does not teach this doctrine, Dr. Murray would consider it to be a church that Christ was not pleased with. Dr. Murray has also made numerous negative comments about "revolving rev's," and of those, "wearing backward collars." Also, when he makes negative references to the Chemarim (Black robed priests of the Old Testament) he is hinting at Catholic priests.
 
"The reason I ask is because he states of being of Irish descent? When Dublin,Ireland is over 80% Catholic.Maybe he is a reformed Catholic ? Peace,Tony"
Maybe he is descended from the 20% protestant Irish.
 
Or he may be of Irish descent from a long way back.  Dr. Murray's ancestors may have  converted to Protestantism. The Irish have been coming to America for centuries, there has been plenty of time for his ancestors to become protestants. 
 
I do not think he is a reformed Catholic, but I can't say for sure, so that is also a possibility. 

I have no idea beyond what might be speculated.
 
Sincerely,
Paul Strinigini
