Both.

Most monasteries and convents are Roman Catholic in nature, and the monks and nuns Catholics. However, there are also many monasteries and convents under Anglican orders (the Anglican Church being part of the Protestant movement) as well as many in the Orthodox Church as well as many other non-Catholic denominations. Therefore the monastic life (or the life of a nun), though primarily Catholic, is found in many denominations and countries spread right across the world.
