Monks and nuns (belonging to certain religious orders) Explanation: These are monk and nuns belonging to Benedictine, Cistercian and Trappist orders. "Ook als monniken en monialen hun vormingstijd beëindigd hebben, blijft voortgaande vorming gewenst. Het Secretariaat Monastieke Vorming werd in 1998 opgericht. Het heeft als doel de permanente vorming van de mannelijke en vrouwelijke benedictijnen-, cisterciënzer- en trappistengemeenschappen in Vlaanderen en Nederland te ondersteunen en aan te moedigen."

enclosed nuns Explanation: 'monialen' zijn slotzusters (nuns in an enclosed order) "IN THE THIRTEENTH CENTURY, St. Francis of Assisi founded three Orders: preaching friars, enclosed nuns, dedicated seculars. The nuns were formed by St. Clare, his first spiritual daughter; and they constituted the Second Franciscan Order." http://www.ewtn.com/religiouslife/women/sister32.htm P.S.: mijn eigen zusje is een 'moniale' dus ik weet zeker dat dit de geijkte term is....
