Uh, no. Like adduncan said earlier, Ra is an Egyptian deity. December 25th is actually the feast day of Mithras (Mithraism was an early cult in Rome). Many of the churches in Rome are built over mithraeums. It is an influential thing to Christianity in general--not just Catholicism.

You talk about all this research that you've done, but then so much of it is full of fallacies and holes to make it look like a slice of Swiss cheese. It's obvious that you haven't done pure historical research, as evidenced by the quoting of Jack Chick tracts (of all things!).
