It was pointed out that the Sparrows would never have grabbed a foothold in the capital if Tywin had still been around, and that's absolutely correct. He struck fear into the hearts of almost everyone, but the Sparrows seized on his downfall. After working his way into the King's Landing scene, the High Sparrow became a seemingly powerful ally to Cersei until she was judged under the same religious laws as everyone else. Her plot to ruin Margaery backfired spectacularly, and landed herself in a dire situation. Cersei's walk of shame was a brutal humiliation, unlike anything else we've seen in Westeros, and the fact that this was Cersei Lannister was truly staggering.
