What is the difference between church of england and roman catholic?

One of the biggest differences, and in fact the reason for the spit, is the leader: the Roman Catholic church is lead by the Pope (in Vatican) and the Church of England is led by the current monarch of England. There are only a few differences in what the two churches believe in and in their practice, and one of them is that in the Church of England, but not the other, women can become priests and even Bishops.
