No one was killing each other in the UK over interpretations. It was over power.

Ok sure, but the two groups struggling for power were organized by and at odds over their interpretations of christianity, this is a pretty semantic point

What are the main differences in interpretation between Catholicism and Anglicanism, then?

Well I'd think as Brit you would know this better than I, but there are some differences. Protestants traditionally believe salvation is achieved solely through Jesus, while the Catholics include doing good works. Protestants also tend to believe solely in the authority of the bible, while catholics value religious tradition and say only the catholic scholars are fit to interpret the bible.

The Protestants also think worshipping Saints, such as Mother Mary, is a form of idolatry, while the catholics do not.

Protestant priests are not required to be celibate like Catholic priests

I seem to recall whether or not it was OK to get a divorce was something of an issue as well at one point

These would seem to be a few of their differing interpretations, but I am sure there are more that I am not aware of as I am not even a christian, and certainly no expert on this subject

Anymore they're forbidden to be celibate, because the "be fruitful and multiply" told only to the first people on the planet somehow overrides the praise given to celibacy everywhere else.
