It seems to me that Easter should be the first Sunday after Passover.

Sometimes it falls that way, this year for example. But the Passover/Easter controversy is old. I'm a quartodecimast myself.

"It seems to me that Easter should be the first Sunday after Passover."

Sometimes, but not necessarily. The real name is not Easter, but "First Fruits," and its timing is relative to Passover, which is a Lunar event, rather than a calendar event.
