A researcher who tracks population by religion is questioning Vatican claims that the number of Muslims has just passed the number of Catholics in the world. Todd Johnson is director of the Center for the Study of Global Christianity at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. He says the Muslims to outnumbered Catholics more than 20 years ago. Johnson says there were 962 million Muslims by 1990 and about 32 million fewer Roman Catholics. In fact, he claims that Sunni Muslims outnumbered Roman Catholics by 2007.
