What is a Franciscan Friar?
The Franciscans are referred to as “friars,” from the Latin frater, meaning “brother.” Franciscans are essentially an order of brothers striving to live the Gospel with the same simplicity and fervor as their founder, St. Francis of Assisi. After growing up in a wealthy family and then experiencing a powerful conversion at the age of 25, Francis donned the clothes of a penitent and began to live a very poor lifestyle, dedicating himself to prayer and service of the poor. Before long, inspired by his fervent lifestyle, men began to join Francis and to imitate his way of life. This gave rise to the birth of the Franciscan Order in 1223.
What is a Capuchin Franciscan?
In the 16th century, a group of Franciscans were inspired to live the Franciscan lifestyle in a more radical manner, returning to the original emphasis on prayer and poverty. These men broke away from the Franciscans and began a reform movement which stressed the priority of contemplative prayer and a more rigorous austerity. Wearing habits with large hoods, they soon garnered the name cappucio, the Italian word for “hood.” The Capuchins received approval of their way of life and were recognized as an official, independent branch of the Franciscans in 1525 in the papal bull Religionis Zellus.

I learned a lot with just 1 minute. Something you rarely come across. :)
Can’t forget about the Carmelites and Augustinians, though.
So then, question, theres no such thing as a “benedictine” “friar”?
Still confused. I see Friars who live in Monasteries but Friars are not really monks.
Friars are Religious Priest. You need to study Philosophy for 4 years and 3 years Theology plus 1 year of Deacon. Is monks the same? Can i be monk to finished those? Or not?
I was told the coffee drink cappuccino comes from the Capuchin friars because their tunics were brown and their hoods were white, but I have never seen such a habit. Do they or did they ever exist?
Erm what the sigma
is there a Franciscan Monk?
Is augustine are monks? or friars? I wonder
Can someone studying to become a diocesan priest change his order to religious order or the opppsite
Thaaaaank you.
The Dominicans - also "lovingly" referred to in a Church pun as "Dominus Canes" /God' Dogs/. This lot actually did the most witch hunts, Spanish inquisition. (Thomas de Torquemada).
So... Question. How is a Friar/Monk different from the guy at the end of my street corner who holds up cardboard signs that contain various Bible verses, and asking for donations?
😎👌
That's crazy how do the monks just stay in one place
