Wikipedia calls them “monasteries” but you’ll see when you click through that they are actually friaries. A Catholic would know the difference, even if the Wikipedia editor does not.

Mmmm, maybe not. But the way wikipedia works, any good Catholic who knows the difference can go in and change it. That's part of the reason why wikipedia is the START of research and should be used as the place to find clues, not definitive answers.

Even I knew the Dominicans aren't monks. That could just be because there are a lot of them around here and I know a few, though.
