Andrew Cuomo’s fall is a reminder NEVER to idolize politicians

The psalmist warned us: “Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of a man, in whom there is no help.”

This bit of immortal wisdom from three millennia ago might be of help today as we seek to understand the fall of Gov. Andrew Cuomo. The psalm uses the word “princes” to refer to the human authority figures who serve as our earthly leaders. We are advised not to put our faith in them, because it is foolish to put your faith in anything but the divine — “the God of Jacob . . . who keeps faith forever.”
