Your problem is that /pages/* is routed to pages/display/*, so your home() action is never called. So you should add an extra route that connect /pages/home (or simply the default '/' which I suppose you're using).
That being said, the desired action is probably not pages/home, since what it does is show a bunch of posts.. So I'd connect '/' to posts/ index instead.
