Not all monastic churches were cruciform. The larger churches were cruciform, regardless of whether they were monastic or not, and the smaller ones were in simple rectangular shapes, regardless of whether they were monastic or not.
"Paruchiae" roughly translates to "parish" and was used in the Early Irish Church to describe the early church communities for the laity, as opposed to churches for the monastic communities.

The kind of monastic life available in the Middle Ages was primarily determined by factors such as the specific monastic order to which an individual belonged, local customs, and the socio-economic context of the region. Different orders, like the Benedictines, Franciscans, or Cistercians, had distinct rules, spiritual focuses, and community structures. Additionally, the availability of resources, land, and patronage influenced the lifestyle and activities of the monastic community. Personal motivations for entering monastic life, such as seeking spiritual fulfillment, education, or social status, also played a significant role.

Assuming this is asking about buildings, most Anglican churches are in the shape of a Christian cross when seen from above. The word for this is cruciform.
A Cruciform Church is a term describing anything that is cross-shaped. The actual word 'Cruciform' means 'a cross-shaped church'. The reason why Christians have Cruciform Churches is mainly because the cross is related a lot with Christ and how he died on a Crucifix. This is the typical image of a Gothic church.

Transept The ground plan of many churches forms the shape of a cross. The two 'arms' of the cross are the transepts.
The word cruciform specifically refers to anything cross-like, as in the bisected wood used to crucify Christ. Cruciform structures then are built. They require sentient action.
A church plan in the shape of a cross is called a "cruciform plan." This architectural design often symbolizes the Christian faith and is commonly used in the construction of churches to represent the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. The cruciform layout typically features a central nave intersected by a transept, creating the distinctive cross shape.
The name for the aisle that crosses the nave is called the transept. It typically intersects the nave at a right angle, creating a cross-shaped floor plan in churches with a cruciform layout.

The one with the keys, or the one with the cruciform? Cruciform is because he is religious, and believes in god. And the keys he got from a fan, and it means a lot to him (:
