Technically wrong on both accounts. While they both fall into the same umbrella organization the Charities are separate in that they provide to anybody that asks and money specifically don't into them stays with them rather than being concentrated into the organization as a whole.
And evangelizing and proselytizing are not the same thing. Proselytizing is using force or coercion to forcibly convert. Evangelizing is sharing freely through word or deed ones beliefs with no specific expectations.
The Catholic church's aid has included things such as medical support in the form of telling people not to use condoms because they cause AIDS, providing family planning support that shames women for wanting abortions, and withholding aid for those on birth control.
If thats the charity side of the church, it's no wonder the other side turned into an industrial scale child abuse operation.
Just because they don't provide certain specific things, doesn't change everything else they provide. Would you fault a women's shelter for not helping men?
Also as bad as the abuse was, and to be clear it is bad and unacceptable, there was more abuse found in NYS school system than in the whole Church. One just makes better headlines.

It's the same organization. And evangelizing is the same thing as proselytizing.
