If Paul was a Catholic, he was not a very good one. I think that he would have gotten the anathema axe. Paul was not a Catholic, Paul was a New Covenant Christian.
Baptism is a big thing in the Catholic religion. If you have not been baptized in the Catholic church, you are not a Catholic. What was Paul's position on baptism? There were contentions in the Corinthian church about baptism. Some said that they had been baptized after Paul, others said that they had been baptized after Apollos or Cephas. This was causing division within the church. Paul could only remember baptizing three people, Crispus, Gaius and the household of Stephanas. He could not remember baptizing any others, 1 Corinthians 1:10-17. Try telling a Catholic priest that baptism is not important.
Paul said to the Corinthians, "For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the Gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of no effect" 1 Corinthians 1:17.
Catholics are also big on works and keeping the law, this is part of their salvation. Catholicism does not have a Gospel; it is all about works and obedience. Paul said, "Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law (what we do) but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we that have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law (what we do) shall no flesh be justified" Galatians 2:16. The works of the law is any religious thing that we do.
Catholicism came out of Rome. Rome was the most immoral, corrupt, sinful, perverted place on the face of the earth. If you didn't worship Ceasar you died. Romes favorite past time was feeding Christians to the lions. Ceasar enjoyed pouring oil on them and setting them on fire. Out of this cesspool of humanity came the Catholic church. Paul was beheaded by the Roman Government.
