I’m not sure I understand just what this ritual was about. The United Methodist Church does allow for a “reaffirmation” of baptism, where one basically makes a public reaffirmation of faith, but “re-baptism” is not allowed. In a reaffirmation the person making the reaffirmation puts the water on his own head, usually in the sign of the cross on the forehead. That doesn’t sound like what happened here.

So, Venerable Brethren, it is clear why this Apostolic See has never allowed its subjects to take part in the assemblies of non-Catholics: for the union of Christians can only be promoted by promoting the return to the one true Church of Christ of those who are separated from it, for in the past they have unhappily left it.

-Pope Pius XI, 1928, Mortalium Animos

Cardinal O'Malley is just another post-Vatican II clergyman like all of the post Vatican II popes who chooses to ignore Traditional Catholic teaching. And most Catholics see this as a good thing (or at least not a bad thing.

I bet Satan loves these kind of rituals.

Remember that from a Catholic point of view, a female Methodist pastor can baptize validly. Baptism with water, in the name of the Trinity, with the intention of following the Great Commission.
