Answer

Ruling: Yes, you can cast a Reaction from newly drawn cards to respond to a spell still on the stack. Priority passes again after every link in a chain resolves.

Sequence:

  • Opponent casts Catalyst of Aeons (goes on stack)
  • You cast Meditation in response (goes on stack on top)
  • If no one responds to Meditation, it resolves and you draw 2 cards
  • Priority passes again, starting with the controller of Catalyst of Aeons
  • You can then cast Defy (from the newly drawn cards) to counter the Catalyst of Aeons
  • You can continue casting Reactions until you have no more answers
