Cass had a fading grace when he fought Cain and he purposely lost because it was a part of Dean's plan. Cass was nowhere near as powerful as he used to be when him and Dean fought, Most of his grace was used up in the spell, and the rest was fading until he eventually retrieved it. Most don't realize Cass didn't get his power back purely from his grace. It was like a quarter of his grace he got back, the remainder grace he has now is the fragments of Adina's. I hate when people use the Bartholomew argument. Cass didn't overpower him in the slightest. He just stabbed him with an angel blade. That's like saying a ten year old boy overpowered a grown man by shooting him in the heart. Gadreel was caught off guard when Castiel knocked him out. And also, that was as soon as he got his new grace so he had the strength of a regular angel. It wasn't fading as it was with Cain. And also, Gadreel was pretty weak himself. I think he fell more severely than other Angels. This combined with the fact that he was locked up for millions of years. Millions of years of torture and agony. He's been tortured since the dawn of time for fucq's sake. He's not gonna exactly be 100% immediately afterwards. He got beaten by a fellow angel in the season premiere. "He said he could swat Castiel like a fly meaning he can smite him." First off, nowhere in that episode did he say "I can Smite Cass and other Angels." I say I can beat God. Does that make it true? That argument is another pretty poor one with no weight behind it. That's like saying Godsiel could remove hell and beat Death, just because he thought so.
