Yes Ra is an Egypitan entity. And according to first century historian Josephus, that while Egyptians called him Ra, people in other parts of the world referred to him as Nimrod, Baal and others, depending on what region you lived. So uh, why don't YOU check your facts. It's funny that of the 50+ books I've read all support each other and no one has given me non-Catholic resources to support their theories.
And for the record, I did not quote Jack Chick, which shows you don't read well either. I said that a series of books by a former Jesuit Priest was available for purchase and one of the places you can get them was at Chick.com. I don't even know who Jack Chick is.
If you're going to jump into a conversation, please read carefully what was actually said.

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!).
