Here are some possible reasons for the low turnout:

1) Muslims are threatening or chasing away Christians. (Just like they have in Bethlehem and Gaza)
2) Christian worship and church attendance is losing its appeal. (Throughout the world - and especially in Europe - churches are seeing lower attendances.
3) Followers are somewhat turned off by this Pope`s lack of charisma.
4) The evil Jews blocked pilgrims from attending the Papal mass.
