The Gabrielenos and Franciscans monks.
Franciscans
Neither Franciscans or Jesuits are monks.
if you refer to Catholic monks, they are called the Order of Preachers. Noted congregations to these are Franciscans and Dominicans....
The is no such thing as a "Franciscan Order of monks." Monks are monks: Benedictines, Cisterisans, etc. Franciscans are friars, and they were founded by St. Francis of Assisi, who founded his Order in Assisi.
they preach to the public and tried to convert those who aren't christians. they also lived in extreme poverty because they wanted to live just as jesus did, they had no home.
The general term is "mendicant". You may be thinking of the Franciscans, a specific order of mendicants.
The Cistercians are monks, while the Franciscans and Dominicans are both friars, the only thing that they have in common is that they are all religious Orders of the Catholic Church. The Cistercians were a reform of the Benedictine monasteries of the Cluny family which started in 1098 with St. Bernard of Clairvaux. The Franciscans and Dominicans were founded from nothing by St. Francis and St. Dominic (respectively) in 1209 and 1216.
Both Franciscans and Benedictines were religious orders in the 13th century, but they had differences in their approach to poverty and lifestyle. Franciscans, founded by St. Francis of Assisi, emphasized a life of extreme poverty and preaching to the poor. Benedictines, following the Rule of St. Benedict, focused on communal living, prayer, and stability in the monastery.
Some of the major orders of monks include the Benedictines, Franciscans, Dominicans, Jesuits, and Carmelites. Each order was founded at different times in history and has its own unique charism and way of life.
Monasteries or temples (communities of monks) usually are supported by donations, contributions, and/or begging.
The Dominicans and Franciscans were mendicant orders established in the 13th century. The friars were prohibited from owning more land than needed to house themselves and never became substantial property owners or owners of great wealth, as other orders did. The Franciscans in particular, advocated literal obedience to biblical commands by selling all possessions and giving to the poor. The Dominicans had as its objective the elimination of heresy by preaching. Education and learning were cornerstones of its efforts and by 1234, well over half of the doctors of divinity at the Sorbonne are thought to have been Dominicans. Actually, neither are monks as they are not confined to monasteries. They are referred to as friars.
