When Miguel Prats revs the engine of his Harley Davidson, it might sound angry to some — but not to him. “When
I’m on this bike, I literally feel surrounded by angels,” he says. “You
can be frustrated, you can be anything. You get on this and go for a
ride, and it just goes away.”
Today, Prats has a wide-eyed, happy-go-lucky demeanor. But he says 15 years ago, he was angry and tortured inside. In 2002, when the Boston Globe uncovered widespread sexual abuse within the Catholic Church, the story brought back a memory that Prats says he had repressed: shortly after he turned 18, he himself had been sexually abused by a priest.
