I'm creating a title for a monthly newspaper and I'm wondering what the difference in meanings these two titles have "The Catalyst Of Democracy" vs. "The Catalyst For Democracy"
Thanks for all your input.

Hello, Guest.

If the title will imply "something/someone that causes events to happen", I'd go with "A catalyst for democracy".
