"Nowhere could I find a link saying the Catholic Church supports this candidate"

I apologize, there were links to articles demonstrating Catholic support for the reformers on the "Brama" linked site 48-72 hrs ago. As you probably also saw, as events move forward, new posts bury or push off old ones. I've been out but, upon return, found this very recent additional indication of Catholic support:

Ukrainian cardinal, bishop join others in urging action by Kuchma
Excerpts:
"The spread of popular protests testifies that the rights of people were truly brutally violated. It would be impossible for the people of Ukraine to take such action only for the personal interests of one presidential candidate, and the entire world has understood this," said the Nov. 30 letter, issued after a week in which tens of thousands of Ukrainians demonstrated daily in Kiev."

Among the letter's signers were Cardinal Lubomyr Husar of Lviv, head of the Ukrainian Catholic Church, an Eastern rite, and Bishop Markijan Trofimiak of Lutsk, vicar general of Ukraine's Latin-rite bishops' conference.

"In a separate statement Nov. 29, Cardinal Husar said he believed the mass protests showed Ukrainians had "ripened and grown to create a legal state, where all are equal before the law and where every person has the right to express their thoughts without fear."
However, he added that the crisis was being deepened by government leaders, who were relying on "the armed forces of the state rather than the people's support," and using "habits learned in Soviet times."
"In these conditions, the danger of the government using violence against peaceful citizens, and even spilling blood, grows," the cardinal said. "Before our very eyes, a united Ukrainian nation is being affirmed, going through a beautiful and inspired process of transfiguration in its true nature. It would be a great loss if we did not use this chance for the development of our people and drowned it instead in narrow group interests and a stubborn unyielding position."
