***Catholics only please***

I work at Target as a cashier, and often couples come in buy Plan B (which is protected and I have to open it with a magnet) and sell it to them. It's usually very young couples or young women in their 20s, and I often (assume?) they are unmarried.

Is this a sin?

Same with condoms?

God bless

I hope I'm not committing a mortal sin. I'm no moral theologian. I'm just being too scrupulous.
It is remote cooperation with evil. You aren’t willing it or actively encouraging it. Talk to your confessor. But it is almost certainly not a mortal sin.

I was going to suggest he talk to his confessor too.

It can be so very hard sometimes, to be a Christian working in a secular job environment ...
but know that God is with you there in it.

May He continue to bless you, and give you the wisdom to know how to best handle this situation.
