No. No one voted for Jesus. Jesus, being God, chose to share Himself with us. God is the Author and Creator of all things, and existed before the dawn of time, before there was a Catholic Church, or any people, or planet Earth. Jesus is the Incarnation of God on Earth: God made man who dwelt among us. He is God the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity and lived, died, and rose to redeem mankind from sin and death. He gathered together disciples, sent the Holy Spirit to live in their hearts, and sent them to make disciples of all nations. This, Catholics believe was the institution of the Catholic Church.

.Catholic AnswerThe Catholic Church was (and is) the Mystical Body of Jesus Christ, who is God incarnate in a human body with a human heart, and a Mystical Body.

The Church tries to lead people to God by preaching, administering the sacraments, and showing them how to pray, but beyond that, it is completely up to the individual, and between him and God. The Church cannot force anyone to do anything as God does not force anyone to do anything, it simply shows them God's love, and the consequences of rejecting that love.
