This page groups religious orders by how they are governed. Wikipedia notes that "the Benedictines, Cistercians, and Trappists have autonomous abbeys (so-called 'independent houses')," each self-governing rather than centrally directed. Browsing by polity lets a visitor compare a centrally governed order against one built from independent houses.
