The unexpected resignation last night of Jorge Diaz Serrano as head of Mexico's oil monopoly was the climax to a long and bitter campaign by both Cabinet ministers and outside critics who felt that the company, Petroleos Mexicanos, had become a state within a state. Mr. Diaz Serrano, who was replaced by Julio Rodolfo Moctezuma Cid, a former Finance Minister and long-time associate of President Jose Lopez Portillo, was apparently undermined by his own success. Mr. Diaz Serrano, a 60-year-old former private oil contractor whose post as director-general at Pemex was his first job in government, injected life into the country's lethargic oil bureacracy and, in little more than four years, supervised the tripling of oil production, a rapid ascent in exports and a tenfold rise in Mexico's proven hydrocarbon reserves, to 67 billion barrels. But, as a result, the Government became enormously dependent on oil revenues to maintain the current economic boom, and Mr. Diaz Serrano emerged as one of the country's most influential figures and one of a handful of possible candidates to become the next president.

The recent deaths of four hunger strikers in Northern Ireland have raised questions about the position of the Roman Catholic Church on whether death from such fasting as a form of protest constitutes suicide. According to church teaching, a person who takes his own life has acted immorally. Suicide is seen as an intrinsic evil because it destroys a life that was created by God.

International Israel bombed an Iraqi nuclear reactor near Baghdad that would have enabled Iraq to manufacture nuclear weapons, the Israeli Government announced. Prime Minister Menachem Begin justified the attack by Israeli jet fighters as essential to prevent the ''evil'' President Saddam Hussein of Iraq from attacking Israeli cities with atomic bombs similar to the type dropped on Hiroshima during World War II. (Page A1, Column 6.) The United States criticized Israel for the bombing and said that it may have violated its aid agreement by using American-made warplanes in the attack. In the sharpest criticism of Israel yet by the Reagan Administration, the State Department said that ''the unprecedented character'' of the surprise raid ''cannot but seriously add to the already tense situation in the area.''

REAGAN' CHOICE FOR CIVIL RIGHTS POST

Date: 08 June 1981

For a person who will head the civil rights division of the Justice Department, a lack of experience in civil rights cases might seem a liability. Reagan Administration officials saw it as an asset in William Bradford Reynolds, the man chosen by President Reagan to be his Assistant Attorney General for civil rights. The Administration was seeking a lawyer who could look at civil rights problems with a fresh eye and who could get through the Senate confirmation process without angering liberals or conservatives. Mr. Reynolds, a lean, wiry man who seems eager to roll up his sleeves and get down to work, has spent most of his career in commercial litigation, matters ranging from simple breach-of-contract suits to complex antitrust cases.

On the late side of midnight, Jack Thompson swirled the Scotch and water in his glass, staring hard into it. He was sober and thoughtful. ''War, I'm sorry to say, is a very exhilarating experience,'' he said above the bar noises at the Ohio University Inn. ''Everything else is a little bit duller. The war experience binds together those who have experienced it in a way that's not possible in any other kind of experience.''
