Friars not monks
Whilst the term monk is routinely used for members of the Roman Catholic orders who continue to wear traditional habits, it actually only applies to a subset of the orders. Specifically Franciscans and Dominicans are friars, and not monks. As the wikipedia article on Monks says:

"Within western monasticism, it is important to differentiate between monks and friars. Monks generally live a contemplative life of prayer confined within a monastery while friars usually engage in an active ministry of service to the outside community. The monastic orders include all Benedictines (the Order of Saint Benedict and its later reforms including the Cistercians and the Trappists) and the Carthusians, who live according to their own Statutes, and not according to the Rule of St. Benedict proper. Orders of friars include the Franciscans, Dominicans, Carmelites, and Augustinians. Although the Canons Regular, such as the Norbertines, live in community, they are neither monks nor friars as they are characterized by their clerical state and not by any monastic vows."

Does anyone have a problem with my altering the reference to monks to friars?! Ender&#39;s Shadow Snr (talk) 00:47, 14 November 2017 (UTC)
