Is it impossible for Cersei (in the show) to simply un-arm the faith? She was trying to get them to bless Tommen in the books, but it doesn’t seem like she really needed them all that much in the show. Couldn’t the King just outlaw it or take it back? Or am I trying to look for logic where there is none? (Namely on GOT itself.)

Once you’ve armed them, it’s going to take a war to disarm them. Both in the books and the show, the Faith Militant do not give a damn about secular authority and are eager to die fighting for their gods. 

And in the show, Cersei needed them as part of her scheme to imprison Margaery.
