Best Answer

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.

Whats the difference between a Dominican monk and a Franciscan monk?

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.
