No one is a follower of the Pope. They are followers of Jesus. The Pope is just the leader of the Roman Catholic Church. The Roman Church has over 1.086 billion members. See this website:

Not as many as you'd think. Sure, he draws huge crowds wherever he goes. But, it is not because of what he says. He is just a celebrity. However, the Pope's views on abortion, women in the priesthood, and homsexuals in the Church are strongly opposed by Catholics.

first you have to define followers.my brother is a catholic and only goes to church maybe twice a year. and for the most part catholics are divided on issues like abortion,war,homos,birth control and doctrines that have pagan origins. so strictly speaking no one knows.
