Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Friars are members of certain religious orders within the Catholic Church that focus on preaching, missionary work, and caring for the poor. The Franciscans, founded by St. Francis of Assisi, are one of the most well-known orders of friars. The Carthusians, Jesuits, and Benedictines, while also religious orders within the Catholic Church, are not typically referred to as friars. The Carthusians are known for their solitary and contemplative life, the Jesuits for their educational and missionary work, and the Benedictines for their monastic lifestyle centered around the motto "Ora et Labora" (pray and work).
