McKinley was infamous for saying something to that effect about the Philippines 100 years ago,

Infamous to the citizens of the nation of the United States or to the nation of Vatican?

Inasmuch as Vatican City didn't come into existence until 1929, I doubt it would be Vatican City.

The McKinley quotation is:
"(4) that there was nothing left for us to do but to take them all, and to educate the Filipinos, and uplift and civilize and Christianize them"

Such a line is an insult to any educated man, American or otherwise.
