This question has two answers, depending on what is intended.

The Church was operationally divided into two parts, the regular and the secular. The regular clergy were monastics, who were operating under monastic regulation. The secular clergy were the parish priests, bishops, and so on, who were out working with secular people.

The main body of the Church divided into two parts at the Great Schism in 1054. The western Church was Latin and centered on Rome, and this is the Roman Catholic Church. The eastern Church was Greek and centered on Constantinople, and this was the Eastern Orthodox Church. (Truth be told, however, there were always smaller independent churches, such as the Coptic Orthodox Church.)
