What are the different types of Catholic monks?

Answer 1

Answer 1: There's Franciscan. (Capuchin monks are a type of Franciscan monk.) There's Carmelite Monks, Trappist Monks, Benedictine Monks, Dominican Monks.

Answer 2: There are many more types of monks than that. Moreover, it just shows the arrogance of Christians -- specifically of the Roman Catholic type -- to presume that the only kind of monks are Roman Catholic monks. Said arrogance is exacerbated by positing such in the "Taoism" category. Seriously, the arrogance is beyond outrageous... and that criticism is coming from a catholic.

A monk is, generically, a person who decides to dedicate his/her life to the service of either others or a community, through the tenets and traditions of his/her religion. Yes, obviously, there are monks in the Roman Catholic tradition, but there are also monks among Lutheran, Methodist and Anglican Christians. The most recognizable non-Christian monks are Buddhists. There are also monks in Taoism, Jainism, and Vaishnava (from which the Hare Krishnas of most US airports fame derive).

Other faith traditions may loosely refer to some of their most dedicated as "monks," but the salient characteristics -- most chiefly, asceticism -- of what truly defines being a "monk" are usually missing from their lifestyles.

Answer 2

Broadly, the most prevalent type of monk was the Benedictine. From the Benedictine broke off the Cistercians, and later the Cistercians of the Strict Observance (Trappists). There were also the Camaldolese. The Benedictines typically teach school, but there are some congregations of Benedictines (the Solesmes congregation is a good example) who concentrate on the liturgy and do no outside work at all. The Cistercians, and later the Trappists sought to live the Benedictine rule more strictly, and the Trappists have no outside work, and are normally farmers. There are a few minor orders of monks, and the Carthusians, which are strictly hermits (like the Camaldolese), although the Camaldolese follow the Rule of St. Benedict, while the Carthusians are another Order altogether, founded by St. Bruno. All of them could be broken down into roughly three categories: those who do outside work (like teaching, parish work, etc.), those who are strictly cloistered and do no outside works, and the hermits, who are not strictly monks at all, but hermits proper.
