"You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." (John 8:32)

As brought to light in Scripture, truth and freedom are not mutually exclusive. Truth is in fact the birthplace of freedom. When we direct our free will towards the service of the truth, it is then that we more free.

The Catechism defines freedom as a power "rooted in reason and will, to act or not to act, to do this or that, and so to perform deliberate actions on one's own responsibility." Freedom itself is a gift that should be exercised and ever directed towards God. For freedom doesn't simply serve itself, but should always extend beyond our own benefit.

Additional reference: Catechism of the Catholic Church 1731
