Doctrinal Note on Some Questions Regarding the Participation of Catholics in Political Life

Is this an offical "Ex Cathedra" statment of the church? If so, I would appreciate a source link.

I am curious because I investigated the question of Catholics being told how to vote. I concluded that there no official statements about it, but that there were plenty of radicals giving their opinon as if it were Ex Cathedra.

Not just ex cathedra statements are binding on the faithful.

If so, I would appreciate a source link.
