Are the Angels sitting out minor disputes they could act in to "save up" eventual bigger actions in more dire situations?

  In a word, yes.  In all of this free will is in play, angels cannot get in the middle of that.  Denarians are powerless unless a mortal of his or her own free will picks up and accepts a coin.  In Changes Uriel could not just heal Harry's broken back, though he had the ability to do so.  All he could really do is confirm that Maggie was indeed his child and point out that Harry still had choices.  He could only step in when Lasciel upset the balance by pushing Harry to suicide.. Even then he pushed a soul walk about for Harry because there were lessons he had to learn on his own, Uriel could not do any of that for him.

How…how long will they have to wait to find out who will wield the Swords?
We’ll probably get the new wielder of Fidelacchius in Book 14 or 15. Um, Amoracchius is gonna, uh…(Jim chuckles evilly), that’s gonna be apocalypse time by the time we get [unintelligible].  Amoracchius is not one of those Swords that really rampages around the world very often, and when if does, you’ve heard about it, so..."

Almost makes you think Michael kinda could have dropped it after slaying the whole Dragon. That's what he did with it, Susan with Amorrachius helped shut down the Red Court, then Michael used it to release the Weapons of the Crucifixion, kinda makes 'saving the Archive' seem a bit weaksauce for all the years he had it after saving Charity. ;)

C'mon guys it's not anything complicated.

The other Swords aren't active because Heaven outsourced recruitment to some asshole in Chicago that was too busy wallowing in self pity/sleeping at the wheel to find any more knights to weird them.

That lazy fool spends half his weekends sleeping off hangovers in the sub basement, and the other half getting drunk on a boat in the middle of the lake...  Then spends the rest of his time carving wood or jewelry but doesn't even try to sell them.

Always seems to have enough money but never really makes enough... Underworld connections if you ask me... illicit for sure.

The thing is:  the Knights make their ways to the Swords, when it's needed.
No matter how unlikely the Knight, or how improbable the way there.

It only looks like Harry is supposed to go out and find new Knights.  He's supposed to hold on to any Sword(s) until the Knights come to him.
