How are monks and friars the same?

They are the same in that they both have taken vows or promises to dedicate their entire lives to God. Friars do this through the three vows or promises of poverty, chastity, and obedience. Monks do this through the three solemn vows of obedience, stability, and conversatio morum- the conversatio morum which has no direct translation into English is explained below:“Obedience is the first virtue of Christ. It is listening in love to someone else so that what they want seems to you more important than your own will – as Jesus prayed in Gethsemane. Stability is a promise to persevere in this particular community – it is a promise of loyalty. ‘Conversatio morum’ is often left untranslated since it is hard to find English words that are adequate. It is a vow to a continual change of heart, a daily reshaping of the mind and heart according to God’s plan for us “. (Ampleforth Abbey)


What is the title of a nun that is a priest?

There is no such title, as there is no such thing. A nun is a religious woman who makes lifelong vows of stability, conversatio morum, and obedience. A priest is a man who is ordained by a Bishop to offer the Most Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. As Pope St. John Paul II said, it is metaphysically impossible for a women to be ordained to the priesthood.

What do nuns believe in?

Catholic Nuns are women who have given their entire lives to God in a monastery, in the Catholic Church nuns usually take vows of stability, conversatio morum, and obedience. They believe in doing the Will of God which they find in their Rule. Nuns are addressed as “Sisterâ€. However, they are not “Sisters†in the sense of religious sisters. Religious sisters make promises of obedience, poverty, and chastity (these are contained in the nuns’ vow of conversatio morumâ€) and teach, nurse, work in parishes, etc. Nuns, on the other hand are usually cloistered and exist totally to worship God. Other religions like Protestantism and Buddhism do not distinguish between nuns and sisters. Bottom line? Nuns believe in God, and that worship of God alone is what they are called to do in this life. Everything else they do is subservient to that, and in obedience to their Rule, and their Abbess.


If nuns are portrayed as Mary why do they need to be a virgin?

A nun is a woman who has dedicated her life to God, as part of that she is required to make vows, either of Conversatio morum or of chastity. Either one contains the promise to never marry (after making the vow), they need not be virgin, although to offer one's virginity to God is considered most excellent, and virgins are spoken of highly in the Bible and the early Church.


What are characterics of nuns and monks in the renaissance?

Basically the same as they are today, monks and nuns are people who have dedicated their lives to praising God, they are bound to the three vows of Conversatio Morum, obedience and stability - as most monks and nuns are in the Benedictine tradition. If they are not Benedictine, for instance, Augustinians, they take the three vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience.

When do monks take a vow of celibacy?

.Catholic AnswerThe Evangelical counsels: poverty, chastity, and obedience are the proposed to every Christian by Our Blessed Lord. In other words, if we are to be a Christian, if we are to dare to say that we are following Christ, we must discern how to follow these counsels of Our Blessed Lord. The monk is giving himself entirely to God, holding nothing back, he is giving up control of absolutely everything in his life to God while he is still no this earth. He no longer has any decision to make, he only has to follow the Gospel, his particular rule of his community, and the Abbot's orders. Chastity is not something negative, it is something positive. He is giving up having one specific person to love in his life other than the Lord, and taking the Lord, and His Mystical Body - the Church, as his spouse. A spouse works out his salvation by loving his wife, a monk works out his salvation by loving the Bride of Christ, which is the Church. He is not giving something up, he is taking on more. .By the way, a monk's vows are obedience, stability, and conversatio morum. The last "conversion of manners" contains both chastity and poverty, he does not take specific vows of either of these two, just the conversatio morum.

How were monks different from friars?

First of all, friars are still different from monks as they both still exist in the Church. Monks take three vows of Obedience, Stability, and conversatio morum, a Latin term meaning fidelity to the monastic life (which includes Chastity and Poverty). Stability means remaining in one monastery for your entire life. Friars are mendicants, they are not vowed to one monastery, their vows are Chastity, Poverty, and Obedience, which are the three evangelical virtues that Our Blessed Lord preached to those who would be perfect. THe monks primary occupation is to pray and to be perfect, the friars primary duty is to live the evangelical counsels in the world and whatever the particular charism of their Order is, for instance, the Dominicans charism is preaching.
