Monks are any solemnly professed religious of a monastic Order like the Benedictines, Cistercians, etc. Monks would include both brothers and priests. Brothers are those monks who are not ordained to the priesthood. Other Orders with non-ordained members such as the Dominicans, Carmelites, Franciscans, etc. also have brothers.
