The Pope didn't even say anything incorrect at all in the video. He didn't explicitly say the boy's dad went to heaven, just said that God smiles upon the dad's act of baptizing his children. What, was the Pope supposed to tell the kid that his baptism didn't count and God looks down at him with scorn like some kind of illegitimate child?

If you don't baptize the kid with holy water from the Champagne region of Heaven, you don't get embraced with God's True Love. You just get sparkling salvation.
I mean, if we're supposed to take religion seriously as anything other than the purposefully explicit backdrop of bigoted fascism, then yes words should mean things.

I do get the joke, but because we're obsessed with making people Catholic we can technically use any water, any liquid in an emergency.
It wasn't an emergency, but I made 60% of a Catholic once by blessing 80 proof rum and performing a baptism upon request at a party
yes. sins of the father and all
