in the Eucharist the body and blood of Christ coexist with the bread and wine after the Consecration

I don't understand why anyone would find this belief easier or more reasonable than transsubstantiation.

[annalex]

Note that the fundamental doctrine here is that of the Real Presence (of Christ in the Eucharist), most clearly expressed in the scriptural “this is my body”. Transubstantiation is a way to put the Mystery in the context of platonic philosophy of substance and appearance. Consubstantiation is, basically, a complicated piece of nonsense that does not understand basic philosophy, but the reason Consubstantiation was invented by heretics is to rationally explain the Real Presence.
