According to Wikipedia:
As of January 2009[update], in the Roman Catholic Church there are 630 archdioceses (including 13 patriarchates, two catholicates, 536 metropolitan archdioceses, 79 single archdioceses) and 2,167 dioceses in the world.
Now, each diocese keeps track of its own monsignors (monsignor is just an honorary title given to priests), so to get a total of active and retired monsignori, you would need to contact each individual diocese and archdiocese in the world.
