My Latin teacher would also have done the "kiss"  pronunciation,
which I believe is academic German Latin.
 
And yes, Italianate Latin, IOW pronouncing Latin as though it were
Italian, was "imposed" by the RCC in the 1920's.  Not that the  French,
Germans, or British have paid any attention.
 
So in Italianate Latin the "cis" is more like "chees."
