If the Church was that united, it wouldn't have fallen apart so quickly.
The Church has always had divisions, although we tended to refer to them as heretics, apostates and schismatic. Just look at all the Protestant denominations, those are all separations from the Church.
There will always be struggles for the faithful, no matter when.

I look at the fallout as a type of pyramid. The Catholic Church at the point on top and the Protestant denominations splitting among themselves over several centuries to the point of the broad base.
Even the Lutheran Church has split into several denominations from Luther's original denomination.
