The Vatican striped flag is the flag of the Catholic church. Concerning
this white and blue flag, would it have been in France, I would have immediately
said that it was a horizontal version of the flag of Jeanne d'Arc, but
I think this is a flag related here to the Virgin Mary. See for instance
the origin of the blue colour in the former French king's coat of arms.

If by w/b you mean white/blue (not black), then the flag is the Marian
flag - it is a bicolour of the colours associated with Mary in the Polish
usage. I remember when I was in Poland as a child in 1974, I acquired a
Polish flag, a yellow/white flag and a white/blue flag.

I see the marianist flag and is white over light blue (celeste) better
that dark blue. In my city (and I believe in other cities too) is used
with the local virgin in center.

I used the blue color of the Arms of Pope John-Paul II on the Vatican
page for this image.
