You do not even know your own churches rules. The Bishop had the
right to lift it as he had not committed any of those crimes reserved
solely for the Pope. In addition any priest at point of death could
absolve him of all sins.

It is appalling the modern Catholic lack of knowledge about their own
faith.

The allegation is sometimes made that the Catholic
Church never excommunicated Hitler from membership.
It is unknown whether Hitler was formally
excommunicated or not, but it doesn't matter. Hitler
was already excommunicated ipso facto under the
canon law of the Catholic Church for his numerous
sinful crimes. He could only have returned to the
Catholic faith, even assuming that he would ever have
wanted to, by having his excommunication removed by
the Pope himself. The lifting of such excommunication
is reserved to the Pope, latae sententiae.

Just because it is on a website, does not make it correct. I suggest
you go right to the source and read the cannon law on this which
clearly states that the Pope is not the only one who can lift the
excommunication.
