Cardinal William H. Keeler was for many years the Episcopal Moderator for Catholic-Jewish Relations for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. In this capacity he influenced not only the relationship between the Catholic Church and the Jewish people in the United States, but also the Church's relationship with the world Jewish community, both directly, by dealing"" with its largest segment, and indirectly, by being one of the Holy See's key advisors on the dialogue with Jews throughout the entire pontificate of Pope John Paul II and into that of Pope Benedict XVI.
