What do you think Shakespeare's opinions were of the church since there are a lot of religious references in the play Measure for Measure?

Shakespeare did not reveal his own opinions in his plays, since that was potentially dangerous and might prevent the play from being approved by the censor. Accordingly the religious references in Shakespeare's plays are "politically correct", never criticising the state-run Church of England.

Did monks exist in Shakespeares plays?
Yes. There is Friar Lawrence and Friar John in Romeo and Juliet, and Friar Peter, Friar Thomas and Friar Francis in Measure for Measure, in which the Duke disguises himself as a monk. There is a Friar Patrick mentioned in the Two Gentlemen of Verona, who fulfils the same function as Friar Lawrence in Romeo and Juliet, although we do not see him. You may object that technically a friar is not the same thing as a monk, but it is not clear whether Shakespeare was clear on the difference. In any case, King John is clearly stated to have been poisoned "by a monk" and not by a friar. The word "monk" occurs most frequently in his very late play Henry VIII.

Why were shakespeares play thought to be sinful?
The Puritans thought all plays were sinful which is why they banned them when they came into power in 1642. They were religious fanatics who felt that if people were going to go somewhere and listen to something, they should go to church and listen to sermons. Certain plays have also attracted the ire of the Catholic church, especially Measure for Measure which portrays the Duke masquerading as a priest and taking confession from people, and then proposes marriage to a nun. They didn't like King John much either, as the Papal legate is not painted in a nice light.

The lines don't measure anything, any more than the marks on a ruler do. Latitude and longitude are angles on the Earth's surface, measured between zero- references and the location you're trying to find or describe. Some maps and globes have some latitudes and longitudes marked on them, to help you estimate the angles. Just like the marks on a ruler.
