<xsl:template match="category">
  <xsl:if test="(@name=$paraCatagory)">

This means that if you find a category whose @name is not equal to
$paraCatagory, the stylesheet does nothing with that element - in particular
it does not process the children of that category.

What's more,

<xsl:for-each select=".">

is a no-op.

I've no idea what you really want to do, but I suspect that if you encounter
a category with the wrong name, you want to recursively process it's
children. Say

<xsl:template match="category">
  <xsl:choose>
  <xsl:when test="(@name=$paraCatagory)">
    ...
  </xsl:when>
  <xsl:otherwise>
    <xsl:apply-templates/>
  </xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:template>
