During the medieval period, friars and monks shared several similarities:
1. **Both lived in monasteries:** While friars often lived in communities but were more itinerant, they were still associated with monasteries and religious houses.
2. **Both taught religion and spread it:** Both groups were committed to spreading Christian teachings and values, engaging in education and preaching.
3. **Both traveled as part of their duties:** Although monks generally lived a more settled life, friars were known for their mobility, but both could travel for ministry, missions, or outreach.
4. **Both advised the pope and nobility:** Both friars and monks could serve as advisors to church leaders, including the pope, and were often consulted by nobility for religious and moral guidance.
Overall, while there were distinctions in their lifestyles and focuses (friars being more active in the world while monks typically maintained a more cloistered existence), they shared common goals in promoting and living out their Christian faith.
