While in Rome, Portland Archbishop Alexander Sample, USA, celebrated Candlemas in the Fraternity of Saint Peter church using pre-1960 rites (pictures).
This liturgy was abolished by Pius XII (+1958). Peter Kwasniewski points on social media (February 6) to the purple color of the liturgical vestments and the folded chasubles which was abolished by Pius XII.
Sample recently displayed himself as an ardent Francis partisan (English).

Never heard that pope Pius XII abolished the traditional liturgy. Aren't you mistaken? It was pope Paul VI who abolished the old liturgy, and started the Novus Ordo liturgy...

Here the author appears to use the word "abolished" to mean "modified". They are referring to the liturgy for Candlemas (February second) not the entire Roman rite.
I was aware of Pius XII modifying the Paschal Triduum but not Candlemas. I wonder if the changes to the Candlemas liturgy were another "gift" from Annibale Bugnini.

Another pic with the folded chasuables and Roman pilgrim Agnese at Sample's Candlemas, wearing the habit of the Archconfraternity of the Most Holy Trinity.
