	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Mendicant Friars
		Mendicant Friars are members of those religious orders which, originally, by vow of poverty renounced all proprietorship not only individually but also (and in this differing from the monks) in common, relying for support on their own work and on the charity of the faithful.
		The opposition to the mendicants was particularly strong at the University of Paris, and in France generally, less violent at the University of Oxford and in England.
		Boniface VIII revised the legislation regarding the privileges of the mendicants in favour of the clergy.

	Mendicant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The term mendicant refers to "begging" or otherwise relying on charitable donations, and is most widely used for religious followers or ascetics who rely exclusively on charity to survive.
		In principle, mendicant orders or followers do not own property, either individually or collectively, and have taken a vow of poverty, in order that all their time and energy could be expended on preaching their religion or way of life and serving the poor.
		Many religious orders adhere to a mendicant way of life, including the Catholic Mendicant Orders, Hindu ascetics, and monastic schools of Buddhism where the mendicant tradition still survives, particularly in many Southeast Asian countries where Theravada Buddhism is practised.

	History of THE MENDICANT FRIARS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		From these encounters are born the two great orders of mendicant (or begging) friars, the Franciscans and the Dominicans.

		His order of mendicant friars has spread rapidly through Italy since the first informal approval given to Francis by Innocent III in 1210.

		(Mendicants are persons who follow in the footsteps of St. Dominic and St. Francis and choose to move among the people with the Word of God as opposed to being monastic.)
		Focusing on the "good" in the Good News (the "good" is that God loves each of us, unconditionally), this retreat team defines their approch to retreats as a "time to share stories and reflect on what is going on in our lives." This sharing and reflecting helps us think and gets us looking at ourselves.
