There is only one "order" of priest, so to speak. In the Catholic faith, there are many religious Orders, such as Benedictine, Jesuit, Dominican, Franciscan, etc. Some of these men are chosen for the priesthood, but that is separate from their religious vocations. A Benedictine monk is a monk whether he is ordained to the priesthood or not. The priesthood as an "order" would be between deacon and bishop.
