It's a nod to our Orthodoz brethren who do not approve of the Pope 
having put it into the Creed (hence the name to show it is Latin in 
origin).  There is a theological argument for dropping it and a 
practical reason for not.  It is dropped even at the Vatican on occasion 
when there is a big service with an official Orthodox presence.
