What is a "Mendicant"?

Members of religious orders who are forbidden to own property individually or in common and must work or beg for their livings.

What does the Latin phrase "Habitus non facit monachum" mean in English?

The habit does not make the monk. In other words, just putting on a habit does not make one a monk or, in my case, a friar.
