#AskFedi: Spotted a flag that's one white band and one blue band and nothing else, equally-sized. Don't remember the order. Which flag might this be?
@joepie91 Democratic Poland /j
jokes on me Kraków uses that flag

anyhow, I assume either Assen or Hoogeveen for your case
@eater Hm. None of these seem especially likely, I think? It was flying at a local church
@joepie91 @ohno @eater I think you mean the Vatican city flag, which is technically not the same thing as the Catholic church - insert the appropriate amount of asterisks 😅.
Inferring from context it seems that the 'catholic church flag', being a 'Polish thing' might have been a way that Polish Catholic churches differentiate(d) themselves from other denominations? (Just a guess)
@joepie91 @eater Not 100%. As far as I know, that flag is sometimes also called the Roman Catholic Church flag. I think it’s Polish in origin. The colours white and blue are apparently associated with Mary.
