You might need to be a wee bit more specific. There are many things in Catholic Churches which could be considered decorative, but things like icons (pictures), crucifixes, stained glass windows, and the like are not considered decorative, they have been in Catholic Churches for centuries. Remember that Catholicism was established more than a millennium before literacy became common, and way before the printing press made books available to the common man.
Yes. In fact, the Roman Catholic churches are found not only in the cities, but throughout regional Australia, in even the tiniest outback townships.

I think that there is just 1 in Quebec surprisingly. I am doing a research project on the churches in Quebec and I havge only found 1 Catolic church. Sory if this is not helpful. :P Although there are not as many churches in Québec City as in Rome, the city of the "300 steeples" or Montréal the city of the "100 clochers", there are a great many Catholic churches in Québec's capital city.
The only buildings that typically include steeples are cathedrals and churches. Steeples can be found on Christian buildings like Protestant, Catholic and Mormon churches.

The Greek Catholic Church uses the same Bible editions that the other Catholic churches use (i.e. the churches in communion with the see of Rome - -Roman Catholic, Syrian Catholic, Ruthenian Catholic, Maronite, etc.). In the Greek Language this is the Septuagint for the Old Testament, and the original koineGreek text, sometimes called the Textus Receptus or Received Text by Biblical scholars. In English, in the United States, the main text used is the New American Bible. Also used in different times, places and contexts, are the Catholic Edition of the Revised Standard Version, the Jerusalem Bible, the Douay-Reims-Challoner version, the Ronald Knox Translation (now sadly out of print), and perhaps for teaching purposes, the Catholic Edition of the Good News Bible, which is more paraphrase than translation. The Catholic (both Roman Catholic and Greek Catholic) canon of the Old Testament includes not only the books found in most Protestant editions of the Old Testament, but also the Deuterocanonical Books. The Deuterocanonical Books are found in the Septuagint in Greek, but are not found in the Hebrew Masoretic text.
