Before the fourth century, when Constantine made Christianity legal, the only thing that the early Church could do about heretical groups was to shun them, and exclude them from worship.

When did people start breaking away from catholic church?
From the very beginning. The first heretical sects begin very early on in the history of the Church, and the Church Fathers have many writings which address the contemporary heresies.
Was there a single united Church in the Middle Ages?
The Church, in medieval times, was not monolithic, as many people assume it was. From the earliest times, there were sects, some heretical and some not. The one early orthodox group was the Celtic Church, which merged with the Roman Church during the period after the Council of Whitby of 664. Other early churches still exist, such as the Coptic Orthodox Church and the Oriental Orthodox Church, both of which date from antiquity. Heretical groups were numerous, and perhaps the most notable was the Cathars, against whom the Roman Church launched the Albigensian Crusade. The Catholic Church itself consisted of two parts, the Latin speaking West and the Greek speaking East. Relations between these two parts were often strained and finally broke in 1054, when the Patriarch of Constantinople refused to swear allegiance to the Pope in Rome. The result was the Roman Catholic Church dominated western Europe, and the Eastern Orthodox Church operated separately in the East. Arguably, the Roman Catholic Church was the largest and most powerful, but it was never the only Church in operation.

Does the Mormon religion have certain sectors of cults within it?
Not within it, but there are groups that have split from the church that are outside it. The Reorganized church was one. There were "Rigdonites" for a while, who split off after an early member, Sidney Rigdon. Many polygamous groups claim to be associated with the church, although they also are outside groups. Within it, there are are of course people who believe in different causes, or who all read the same publication, or whatever... but if they believe in something contrary to the church, and start actively advocating it, they risk their membership... which is why splinter groups are outside the church. If you stray from the gospel too far, you can't be inside anymore without lying to your church leaders.

How did religion divide civilization in the Dark Ages?
It didn't divide at all because everyone was Catholic. The church ran the society and told everyone how to live and what to think. They taught that man was born in sin and could only go to heaven through them. ----- The early Church was never a unified body. The Church had many important centers, including Rome, but also others, such as Alexandria, Corinth, Antioch, and Jerusalem. Christianity spread a good deal faster than the power of the bishops of Rome, and by the time Theodosius declared that Catholic Christianity was the state religion, in 380 AD, it had already spread as far as Britain, Ethiopia, and India. The result of this was a large number of Orthodox Churches, in addition to the Church of Rome. These Churches had very different histories, some of them further dividing, such as the Coptic and Oriental Orthodox Churches, and others reuniting with the Roman Church, including the Celtic Orthodox Church spread by St. Patrick. The Catholic Church itself divided over a long time in the Early Middle Ages, and the split became final in 1054 with the Great Schism or East-West Schism. This process began fairly early on because the bishops in the East, who spoke Greek, wanted to maintain their independence from the popes, who spoke Latin, much more than the popes wanted to allow them to have. Additionally, there were a large number of heretical groups that emerged over time, and this started at the very beginning of the Church. For example there were Arians very early on, and these people included the rulers of some of the most important medieval kingdoms. Some of the early heretical groups have persisted to this day. The study of the early Church is something of which many people are ignorant, but a little research can be quite rewarding. There are links below for for anyone wishing to have more information.
