Monks live in monasteries while friars live in groups or singly in the world, and work in their communities or parishes much as regular parish priests do.
Pope Nicholas IV was a Franciscan friar.
Friar Laurence is commonly guessed to be a Franciscan because of his role as a friar and his Christian perspectives align closely with the Franciscan beliefs of helping the poor and living a simple life in service to others. Additionally, his name "Laurence" is reminiscent of St. Lawrence, a famous Franciscan friar known for his charitable works.
Yes. A friar is a mendicant. They are different from monks in that they do not live a cloistered life. So whereas a monk lives most of their life cut off from the outside world in a monastery, a friar lives in the community and supports it. In simple terms, they are like monks that donate almost all of their time to community service in some form. A friar, like a monk, still takes the vows of celibacy, obedience and poverty. However, they do not live a cloistered life and usually do not take a vow of silence. I have never heard of it the term friar being used to describe anyone who wasn't Catholic.
