Franciscans follow the rule of St. Francis. They are part of a worldwide order - so all franciscans have an international structure. Thus, they can be sent anywhere in the world. They are called "friars" not "monks".
Benedictines are, however, rightly called "monks". A monk follows the rule of St. Benedict which is the oldest monastic rule that still exists today. Monks, unlike friars, make commitments to a particular community, called a monastery. They may be sent to other places and countries but they always return to their home monastery. Each monastery is independent and, therefore, they do not have an international or even a national order.
Cistercians, Franciscans, and Dominicans are all Catholic religious orders. The Cistercians focus on a contemplative and monastic lifestyle, the Franciscans emphasize poverty and simplicity in their service to the poor, and the Dominicans are known for their commitment to preaching and teaching. While each order has its own unique charism and history, all three share a dedication to living out the Gospel message in service to others.
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.
One difference is that the Franciscans believed in conversion to Christianity as a way to save Native souls, while many Natives resisted conversion. A similarity is that both the Franciscans and Natives had spiritual beliefs and practices that were important aspects of their cultures and identities.
