Are there any monasteries other than Catholics?
There are many monasteries other than Catholic ones. In the Christian religion, the Anglicans have monasteries, I know that there are Lutheran sisters, but I'm not sure about monasteries. Also, there is the ecumenical Taize community. In non-Christian religions, I know that the Buddhists have monasteries, the most famous are in Tibet, and the Hindu religion also has monasteries.
Are monasteries Protestant or catholic?
There are Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Protestant and Ecumenical (e.g., Taize) monasteries. There are far more Catholic monasteries than Orthodox monasteries, largely because there are more Catholics that Orthodox. There are a few Protestant monasteries, but these are comparatively recent. Much of the Protestant Reformation was directed at abolishing monasteries, and it's only recently that some Protestants have decided that maybe monasteries are not such a bad idea, after all. The number of Ecumenical (Usually combined Catholic + Protestant) monasteries is very small, but many of the few that exist have been enormously influential, again citing the example of Taize.
