Hello,

  • I was interested in becoming a pharmaceutical sales representative, and was wondering if it would be in conflict with my faith?
  • Would it be sinful to sell medications like birth control?

I mean some of these things are after conception and I'm aware I could not sell them. I was thinking about my career and this issue came up.

Thanks,

Anonymous

Hi, Anonymous —

You said:

  • Would it be sinful to sell medications like birth control?

If the medication you are representing is medication that induces abortions or interferes with the conjugal love between a husband and wife or is related to in vitro fertilization, Yes, it would be in conflict with being a practicing Catholic.

I would search out like-mind Catholics with your calling who are in a similar situation as well as any support or help groups. I've listed a few below. Maybe our friends at the NCBC have a suggestion.

Hope this helps,

Mike
