Definition: "BERTOLT," a name given to a high-ranking member of the Council of Bishops in the early centuries CE, refers to a bishop who served as an apostolic priest during the Second Vatican Council. In the context of religious history, "Bertolt" is usually associated with a bishop, specifically one named Bertolt. The term was initially used by Latin writers to describe bishops from the second century AD, but this usage gradually spread throughout the Middle Ages and beyond. The word's meaning may vary depending on the era it appears in and its historical context. However, generally speaking, "Bertolt" typically refers to a bishop who was also an apostolic priest. This role often involved the transmission of liturgical texts or the interpretation of religious doctrine through spiritual instruction and witness. In Christianity, "BERTOLT" is often used as a term of respect for a senior bishop or a person with significant authority within the Church hierarchy.
