Freedom to do good? That's already been covered:
42. Attribute to God, and not to self, whatever good you see in yourself. That's not your freedom or your will, that's god's doing. Or so this document says. So by your definition, there is no free will in this document. |

Whether one chooses good or evil, it is an exercise of one’s free will; but the purpose of human freedom (what it is) is that a human person can choose the good.
But what is “the good”?
For a modern treatment from a Christian perspective see Veritatis splendor:
