Best Answer

Anyone that is a follower of Jesus Christ is considered a disciple. So, the answer is yes. Those men closest to him that carried on his teachings were called apostles. Since priests did not have direct contact with Jesus, I would consider them as being more like disciples.

Catholic AnswerFrom the Glossary of the Catechism of the Catholic Church:"Disciple: Those who accepted Jesus' message to follow Him are called His disciples. Jesus associated His disciples with His own life, revealed the mystery of the Kingdom to the disciples and gave them a share in His mission, His Joy, and His Sufferings (CCC 767, 787).

Priests and nuns are individuals who have decided to give everything they have, their very lives, to Christ. However, it is important to note that, although priests and nuns hand over their entire lives to Christ, they are NOT the only ones who are called to do that, the fact that the rest of us Christians are to live out our lives "in the world" still means that we are to hand over our entire life to Jesus. If we do not accept Him whole heartedly, we do not accept Him, period.
