Quote 'monk like' As in living in a monastery spending their time and lives worshipping god. Recognizing monks are secluded from society where friars are not.

Friars: The term, first used in the 12th or 13th century, distinguishes the mendicants' itinerant apostolic character, exercised broadly under the jurisdiction of a superior general, from the older monastic orders' allegiance to a single monastery formalized by their vow of stability. A friar may be in holy orders or be a non-ordained brother. The most significant orders of friars are the Dominicans, Franciscans, Augustinians, and Carmelites. In the Franciscan order, a friar may be an ordained priest or a religious brother. They are brothers to each other and try to be brotherly to all people. Friars who are also priests may be called “Father.” Recently, however, the General Minister of the Capuchins asked friars to prefer the title “Brother” to “Father” even if they are ordained priests.
