Hi dlow (sorry I couldnt see your name anywhere) I'm 100% certain there are better ways to do this, but i quickly made a hack to scroll pasted text hollywood style, ending in an eternal seamless loop of text.
Simply copy and paste your CR separated (that is, like a normal list, not comma-seperated) into the Input parameters of the text patch. You'll need to manually adjust the font size and possibly the Horizontal Alignment in the Image with String patch to get what you need. If you need this in a corner of the screen etc, then put it all in a 3D Transformation patch. Email me if you have any questions, hope it proves useful.
