It is expected that Pope Francis will release a Papal encyclical on Thursday. In the document, he has asked people to bring changes in lifestyles and energy consumption so that major damage to the ecosystem can be avoided.

Now, it is being said that the message that also warns about the risks of fossils fuels might face skepticism in West Virginia where workers have harvested coal for centuries.

It is possible that the Pope could be accused of being a socialist. In the paper, global warming has been blamed on pollution caused by coal, oil and natural gas. Catholic leaders in some areas in the US's coal and oil regions could be a tough situation. It is troubling, as the energy industry has remained the backbone of the community.

Robert Gorman, executive director of Catholic charities for the Houma-Thibodaux diocese in Louisiana, said that lot of accusing will take place. "There are already people who say climate change isn't happening. There are people saying, maybe it is happening, but humans have nothing to do with it", said Gorman.

The letter asks the world's 1.2 billion Catholics asks political leaders to take more efforts to replace fossil fuels with less-polluting energies. The issues in the paper have been mentioned in moral terms. It even states that the poor and vulnerable have to suffer the most from environmental damage. The encyclical will lead to conversations. Some will argue with it and other against it.
