Not.... YET. but just as the WK is not usually held by a wizard.. we have yet to see what a saint can do with one. Honestly I expected butters to continue with some of his Batman artifices using the swords power as a mock up of force abilities, but perhaps that'd cut too close to an actual Jedi.
Conspiracy Theorist:
It is unlikely that Harry will draw power from an Angel, the gift of Soulfire comes from his soul, by operation of his free will.
Harry is no saint either, he is human, a very, very human, human (and a wizard). Kringle is the only saint in the series (Nicholas).

He will always take a kick at the football, especially if there is a beautiful woman holding it.

I figured it was basically residual energy from the Crucifixion. I guess it could be angels too, though.

Well, Nicodemus was going to use the (other) Shroud as a power source for the plague curse, and even though that wasn't the actual Shroud, it still had power due to being a focus of faith - yet Nic could use it for destructive magic that was very much not in accordance with that faith.
Now, that might not work for the Swords, since an actual angel is probably consciously deciding what to do with the power.
But also, Harry isn't going to mess around with them like that; he's their custodian, but not really their owner. I really wouldn't rule out the possibility to use the Swords as symbolic items in thaumaturgy, even though Harry probably couldn't access the power of the angel itself. Just because Harry hasn't done it doesn't mean he couldn't.
