The latest on the potential nomination of Amy Coney Barrett is that all of the anti-Catholic bigotry that’s out there really doesn’t exist because Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi and Sonia Sotomayor are Catholics and it’s just Republicans saying these things anyway:
Republicans will spend the next 42 days claiming that the party led by Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi—the party whose second last confirmed SCOTUS justice is Sonia Sotomayor—are anti-Catholic bigots.
That doesn't mean we have to take those claims remotely seriously for even a second

Donald Trump is the most toxic politician in the country and he faces re-election in six weeks while the media and too many progressives want to focus on a Catholic mother of 7 who is only significant in this moment because of the most toxic politician in the country.

And Wear correctly notes that this doesn’t even fit that show anyway:
Missed the season where Elizabeth Moss was trained and supported by the men of Gilead to be leading jurist

So, is Joe Biden in the clear?
Thankfully, Biden has set himself apart from this nonsense
