I need the name of this movie?

I saw this movie when I was much younger like back in 93 but I don't know when it came out exactly. It was an Italian flick about a little boy. The only thing I can really remember is that is was on one of the movie channels on cable i.e. Showtime,Cinnemax ect. It came on during the winter in January and it came on very often for a couple of days. It even cam eon in Italian w/ English subtitles. there are a couple scenes i rememebr

1) They are watching some type of movie and for some reason a priest is present and he has one of those things they use in the Catholic church I guess it's used to fling water on ppl. He was so into the movie that he almost put this thing in his mouth.

2) The boy is at school or some where taking a test and him and a guy or another child start flicking each other off not using the middle finger but their arm. I think they might have thrown some paper back and fourth
