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.

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

I don’t understand why anyone would presume to precisely define, or feel compelled to precisely define, what happens to the bread and wine at the time of the epiklesis. The Fathers had no problem with it being a Mystery.
