These beings feel slightly otherwise...
There can be many catalysts for each generation, but not many that has the power to catalyze as many things. Fitz was a great catalyst because of the way he upset things, yet at the end of the tawny man books, he was not eligible for triggering and catalyzing as many changes because of his position then.
More important here is the fact that while there's many catalysts, there is only one prophet that can direct the catalyst(s) each generation. If the prophet is unable to get to the catalyst (like Amber & Winthrow), then the choices of the catalyst may end up being wrong and not having the full effect in the right direction.
