Incidentally, your solution worked just fine, just as you said it would. Thanks.

In my solution, I was able to test for a specific category and list its entries in the sidebar, thus making a sort of index of entries for a category. It seems to work fine. Do you want a list of entries on the Home page? Is that what you're trying to do? I’m not quite sure what you’re trying to do here.

If you drop the conditional expression testing for the presence within a particular category, WP flops! You can't show lists of category entries using that code. And yet, that's one of the most desirable capabilities to have. Even with your solution, tho, it has to be hand-coded instead of managed from the admin area of WP. This is really not on, is it?
