As I explained to GN, it's because you are not talking about conscience here. Conscience comes into play in your concrete actions in the world given the truth that you receive in faith from the Church.

For example, let's say your boss instructs you to complete a certain task. You would exercise your freedom of conscience by judging that particular act by the true morality you have received by faith in God's revelation (as proclaimed by the successors of Peter and the Apostles with the safeguard of the Holy Spirit.)

If you judge with your conscience the particular act your boss is commanding to be against authentic morality, then you should not be bound, either with force or by an internal obligation, to go against your conscience. That is what freedom of conscience is. It is not involved in judging whether particular propositions are true or not.
